Wear your Girl Scout or Brownie uniforms, sashes, or other regalia to JANM on Girl Scout Day for free admission to see the new exhibition, Don’t Fence Me In: Coming of Age in America’s Concentration Camps. This exhibition explores the experiences of Japanese American youth confronting the injustice of being incarcerated during World War II and the activities—including scouting—that showed their resilience and helped them forge friendships and community. Discover the stories of Girl Scout troops in the War Relocation Authority camps through historical photographs, letters, Girl Scout memorabilia, and oral histories.
