3! .J:1L ~CO{;T LEADER Now ... an exciting new publication for Brownies the Brownie Reader

The Brownie Reader, a new publication designed to be read independently by each Brownie is now available to all Brownies and Brownie Troop Leaders. Editorial material in the Brownie Reader has been developed for second and third grade reading levels by professional writers and educators, working with Girl Scouts WHY ARE THE BROWNIES RUNNING SO FAST? of the U.S.A. Each issue is especially designed to entertain and enlighten Brownies n.tir"''f)'-- • ·- ---~~Smut-· Jull twl!olbr,...... Uoiy. ~Jit..,l.twl1u.aG~·.U.,_ ..... and heighten their interest in troop activities. Weekly issues are mailed once each 1...------' month in a packet, addressed to each Brownie personally at her home. Brownies who are flying-up to a Junior Troop will receive three months of special fly-up editions to help introduce the Brownie to Junior Girl Scouting. The Brownie Reader was pioneered by Mrs. Rita Cooper, herself a Brownie leader and children's editor, and Mrs. Kathryn Templeton, Brownie Advisor for the Program Development Division of the Girl Scout Kational Program Department. "The content of the Brownie Reader," Mrs. Cooper explains, "is carefully selected to reinforce the foundation elements of Girl Scouting ... to help the girls look ahead to the adventures of Junior, Cadette and Senior Girl Scouting. "To achieve these goals, and at the same time make the Brownie Reader an enjoyable publication which Brownies will read independently, without parental or leader assist­ ance, is a basic purpose of the publication," Mrs. Cooper said. The once a month mailing of weekly issues contains a variety of material - from service ideas for Brownies to the publication of Brownies' own creative contributions to the Brownie Reader. Creative projects, mind and imagination stretchers, news notes on Brownie Troops and "just for fun" features are regular features of every edition. To encourage the widest possible use of the Brownie Reader, Troop leaders may ob­ tain free first edition copies for distribution to all Brownies in their troop by \vriting directly to: Mrs. Rita Coop er, Editor The Brownie Reader llOO Waterway Boulevard Indianapolis, Indiana 46202 Information regarding a free Brownie Reader subscription for Brownie troop leaders is included in each packet. Be sure to include your troop number, council and region when making your request.
