Girl Scout Program The National Museum of Women in the Arts works in partnership with Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. to produce arts education materials that enhance the Girl Scout program. These materials strengthen girls’ understanding of the art world and encourage an appreciation of the important contributions that women have made to the arts. Discovering Art: A Museum Guide for Girl Scouts Designed for Brownie and Junior levels, Discovering Art is a 23-page, full-color, self-guiding tour of the visual arts that focuses on women artists. The book, which can be used as a learning tool for a visit to any museum, gallery, or art center, introduces Girl Scouts to various types of art, including portraiture, narrative and landscape painting, abstract art, and sculpture. Because of the workbook format, one book is recommended for each girl. $5 each. The Leader’s Guide to Discovering Art This new book provides guidance for leaders conducting the Discovering Art patch program and is designed so that a leader with little or no experience in the arts can become comfortable with the subject. It supplies thematic lesson plans, tips for conducting museum visits, and suggestions for pre- and post-visit activities. Lessons are geared toward various age groups. $15 each. National Museum of Women in the Arts Discovering Art Patch Girl Scouts who complete Discovering Art and the activities in the companion Leader’s Guide are eligible for the patch. $.80 each. Project Pathways Project Pathways workbooks help Girl Scouts fulfill Try-its, Badges, or Interest Project requirements with an emphasis on women artists. Each contains postcard reproductions of works from the permanent collection, information about women artists, activities designed to inspire Girl Scouts to explore the world of art, and a list of resources for continued learning.
