ICC offers 2 separate programs for the Girl Scouts to help create awareness about India. The description of these events (as written on the Girl Scout calendar) are included below. Details on the programs and registration can be found on the Girl Scouts of Nothern California web site.

All About India

(For Grades 1-6)

Have you ever wondered what a trip to India would be like? Do you like fashion and dance? Join the Girl Scouts of Northern California at the India Community Center for a two hour, hands-on workshop where you can try on Indian saris, get henna art, and try some cool yoga poses. You will also learn a few words in Indian languages and we’ll even have real Indian drums (Tablas) for you to play. The afternoon will end with an opportunity for you to taste the flavors of India and show your spirit with an old fashion camp sing-a-long, India style. If that sounds good to you, come on take the journey to the magical country of India!

Girls earn the following badge for the activity. The specially created badge showcases the ICC logo.
