Many individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities are excluded from typical childhood experiences. The Girls Scouts Spirit Nebraska Outreach is answering this need by partnering with The Arc of Lincoln (thearc.org/chapter/the-arc-of-lincoln). The partnership is an opportunity for an inclusive Girl Scout Experience. The Girl Scouts’ focus on being rooted in activism, inclusion and advocacy – in making the world a better place aligns seamlessly with The Arc of Lincoln’s mission.
The Arc of Lincoln Girl Scouts meet on a monthly basis to learn, share and grow together as a community. They aim to create a place where all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths, rise to meet new challenges and promote equitable outcomes for all. This inclusive program demonstrates that the world is made up of many different cultures, values and traditions.
Meetings take place the second Tuesday of the month from 5:30 to 7p.m. More information can be found at girlscoutsnebraska.org.
