Storytelling Kits
The Benefactory, in partnership with GSSJC, developed
storytelling kits for use by Girl Scouts for troop
program, at day camps, libraries or other centers
with children.
Current storytelling kit titles are Bentley and
Blueberry (dogs), Chessie the Travelin’
Man (manatee), Jasmine (cat), and Wolves of Yellowstone.
Kits include: 15 soft cover copies, one hard cover
copy, one plush animal, one cassette tape, one
folder with resource materials including six cue
cards, one storytelling script, mask making/artwork
instructions and a mask design or other artwork
(of which you may make copies).
How to reserve a kit: Complete the reservation
form and mail to GSSJC. Troops pay a $5 rental
fee. Troops also give a deposit of $25. Return
all items to the folder and return the complete
contents of the kit to receive your deposit. Troops
keep the kits for 2–4 weeks. The Benefactory
graciously allows GSSJC leaders to photocopy materials
of interest to the girls found in the folder.

with others.
