Journey to Liberia with Troop 1711!

🌍 Journey to Liberia with Troop 1711!🌍

This World Thinking Day, Bethel Troop 1711 took a trip across the Atlantic to explore the vibrant culture and history of Liberia, often called "Little America." 🇱🇷✨
Our girls did an incredible job representing this beautiful West African nation. From setting up our colorful display to sharing the deep-rooted connections between Liberia and the U.S., it was a day full of learning and sisterhood.

Highlights of our day included:

The Passport Station: Our girls were ready and waiting as fellow Scouts "traveled" to our booth! They managed the flow like pros, stamping passports and sharing fun facts about Liberian life.

Cultural Engagement: It was so inspiring to see the girls engage with other troops, teaching them about Liberia's flag (which might look a little familiar! ⭐️) and its unique heritage.

Global Connection: We loved seeing our Scouts realize that even though we are miles apart, we are all part of one big global family.

We are so proud of how Troop 1711 showed up todaycurious, welcoming, and ready to lead.

Happy World Thinking Day! 🕊️💚

Celebrating Neurodiversity in Our Troop 🧩

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and it is the perfect time to celebrate the unique perspectives and incredible strengths that neurodivergent members bring to our community. In our troop, leadership, courage, and character look different for everyone and that’s exactly what makes us strong.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every girl feels empowered to lead in her own way. Whether it’s through creative problem-solving, a deep focus on a favorite badge, or a unique way of connecting with nature, our neurodivergent scouts help us see the world through a wider lens.

How to Be an Ally This Month:

❤️ Listen & Learn: Seek out stories and perspectives shared by autistic creators and advocates.
💙 Practice Inclusion: Ensure troop activities are sensory-friendly and accessible for all communication styles.
💛 Celebrate Differences: Remember that "making the world a better place" starts with understanding and valuing the person standing next to you.

Let’s continue to build a sisterhood where every scout has the space to shine! 💚
