Scouts explore the Museum to discover how the American Printing House for the Blind helped change the world for people who are blind or visually impaired; how the blind read and write with braille; and how the life stories of two amazing women, Helen Keller and Maria Theresia Von Paradis, impacted the lives of the blind. Scouts will learn that all children, regardless of disabilities, can be successful—if we give them the proper tools.
