Kids on the Block

A Program for Brownies

Kids on the Block is a troupe of educational child-size puppets designed to teach children about disabilities and differences. Delivered at troop meetings and camp by Senior Girl Scouts. The KOB program on multi-culturalism is designed to introduce children to the concept of culture and how it affects our individual lives and society as a whole.
