Webelo Willow Mudie, left, listens attentively recently as Webelo Tristan Morton, center, traces the room on the tactile map while they prepare for guidance from Alicia Stevens, a certified orientation and mobility specialist from the Maine Department of Labor’s Division for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
