Program on Demand: The National Susan B. Anthony Museum and House
The National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House preserves the National Historic Landmark home of Susan B. Anthony and collects and exhibits artifacts related to her life and work. We offer programs through our Learning Center that challenge individuals to make a positive difference in their lives and communities. We offer a program for every level of Girl Scouting: Two Daisy Petals; Celebrating Community Brownie Badge; Susan B. Anthony House Patch for Juniors and Older Girls; and Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Inspiration for those beginning to develop Take Action projects. Programs at all levels involve a specific tour of the Susan B. Anthony House followed by hands-on experiences in our Carriage House.
Our Programs on Demand (POD) provide additional Girl Scout experience opportunities for girls and troops throughout our nine counties. These businesses and organizations feature programs designed to appeal to a wide array of interests, including STEM, art, animals, and many more. Even better, you work directly with these collaborators to determine the specific program and date that fits your schedule. LEARN MORE >>>
