Girl Scouts Visit Stratford Library

As part of the international centennial celebration of Girl Scouting, many Girl Scout troops plan to volunteer 100 hours in 2012, one hour for each year of Girl Scouting. Third Grade Brownie Troop #37233 from Stratford Academy recently visited the for a volunteer service project. 

During their visit, the girls learned about the Stratford Library and created artwork that would remain on display in the library for other children to enjoy. The children's Brownie leader, local art teacher Sally Head, chose 'Chicka Chicka Boom Boom' by Bill Martin for their art project because it is beloved by many children and because of its unique collage art.

The girls drew whimsical alphabet letters and placed them around the bendy coconut tree, the classic emblem of this well-known children's book.

Grown-up Girl Scouts may be interested in reading the new biography of Girl Scout's founder, "Juliette Gordon Low: The Remarkable Founder of the Girl Scouts," by Stacy A. Cordery. The new biography will be published in mid-February. Call or email the Stratford Library to place your hold on this engaging and eye-opening portrait of a dynamic woman who shaped the lives of so many girls.
