Girl Scouts of all ages have the opportunity to earn badges while exploring their creative side.  Brownies on up can earn a variety of different artistic badges, such as:

• Potter (Brownies)
• Painting (Brownies)
• Drawing (Juniors)
• Comic Artist (Cadette)
• Textile Artist (Senior)
• Photographer (Ambassador)

A great local resource is the Arlington Center for the Arts. Located at 41 Foster Street in East Arlington, the center is open to arranging for specific workshops for local troops who are interesting in working on these badges or other artistic pursuits.  For more information, contact Pam Shanley at 617-872-5143 or pam@acarts.org.

Another local studio which will organize special pottery workshops for Girl Scouts is Mud Flat Studio at 81 Broadway St. in East Somerville.  For information about to book a pottery workshop for a troop, call Mud Flat at 617-628-0589 and speak to Gabrielle.
