[Ct-nfb] Girl Scouts

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, Monica!

Congratulations on your daughter's work!  What a wonderful accomplishment!

I've always been a supporter of scouting and I think it was terrific that a visually impaired scout accomplished such a feat.  I remember being a Girl Scout myself when we had a troop at the Oak Hill School for the Blind.  I absolutely loved it!

You certainly have good reason to be a proud mom!  WooHoo!

>>  Girl Scouts of Connecticut Offers Handbooks in Braille
>> Beginning in 2013, Girl Scouts of Connecticut is offering many of its popular National Program Portfolio Resources (handbooks) in Braille.
>> The books were made available through a gift for printing provided to Girl Scouts of the USA. This gift honors the memory of Jane O’Connor Verhage, who was a former Girl Scout troop leader, Board Member, and former Director of Volunteers for Braille Institute of America. Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s Program Department requested that this free resource be made available to all of Connecticut’s membership.
>> All three Leadership Journey books are included in this collection: It’s Your World, Change It! It’s Your Planet, Love It!, and It’s Your Story, Tell It! These Leadership Journeys allow girls to hone their leadership skills while exploring a particular topic. Each Journey has a selection of activities and experiences that are tied to the 15 national outcomes of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, which helps girls discover themselves and their values, connect with others to build healthy relationships, and take action to make their world and community a better place. This collection includes both girl books and adult guides.
>> Other current Girl Scout resources also available for Girl Scout Daisies (grades K-1), Brownies (grades 2-3), Juniors (grades 4-5), Cadettes (grades 6-8), Seniors (grades    9-10) and Ambassadors (grades 11-12) include The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting and Skill Builder sets.
>> Members who wish to borrow these resources may contact Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s Program Department at 1-800-922-2770 or program at gsofct.org.
