Two Girl Scout Badge Workshops at Calvert Library

 

Both Brownie and Cadette Girl Scouts will have the opportunity to earn a badge at Calvert Library in January.

 

The Brownie Reading Rocks Try-It Workshop will be held on Thursday, January 23, 2014, 7:00 – 8:30 pm, at Calvert Library Prince Frederick. Brownies will learn about different types of books, make a book-related craft, and do several other book and reading activities to complete the Try-It requirements. Participants are asked to bring a copy (or the title) of their favorite book for one of the activities. Girl Scouts can attend individually or as a troop, but each girl participating must register separately and should be between the ages of 7 and 9.

 

Because the Reading Rocks Try-It was developed by the Girl Scouts of Connecticut council, it is not available at local council shops. But the Try-Its will be available for purchase at the conclusion of the workshop thanks to Ambassador Girl Scout Troop 4342, whose members are assisting with the program and selling the Try-Its as part of a service project.

 

The Cadette Book Artist Badge Workshop will be held on Thursday, January 30, 2014, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Calvert Library Prince Frederick. Participants will explore the art of bookbinding, learn several book artist techniques, and create two books, which will complete the badge requirements. Girl Scouts can attend individually or as a troop, but each girl participating must register separately and should be between the ages of 11 and 14.

 

Actual Book Artist badges will not be available at the workshop, but each participant will receive a signed form confirming her completion of the requirements which she can give to her troop leader.

 

To register, go to calvert.lib.md.us or call Calvert Library at 410-535-0291 or 301-855-1862. For more information about the workshops, contact Linda Buckley at the library.
