Scouts Geek the Library in Iowa
If you run into helpful Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts in central Iowa this year, you may notice them wearing customized Geek the Library gear. Thanks to Stephanie Fournier, Troop 79 Brownie Leader for the Roland-Story Service Unit of the Girl Scouts, the ‘I geek scouting’ sweatshirt is now an apparel option for many Story City, Iowa, scouts when their official uniform isn’t necessary.
The public awareness campaign resonates with kids and adults, and the sweatshirt is a fantastic alternative for participants, noted Fournier. “We are wearing the sweatshirts when we do troop or pack activities that don’t require formal dress uniforms or Class A uniforms, such as community service, some troop or den meetings, and other lower key get-togethers.”
What’s more, the young Geek the Library fans are also helping spread the word when they wear the sweatshirts. According to Fournier, they are all able to explain what they geek and how to find out more about the awareness campaign at local libraries.
