Girl Scouts: "Craft & Tinker" Badge for Juniors

At the historic Woodrow Wilson House in Washington, young visitors are invited to discover the fascinating world of jewelry, creativity, and history. This interactive learning program introduces participants to the life of Edith Wilson, known for her love of elegant jewelry and beautiful design. Through storytelling and guided exploration, children learn about special pieces once owned by Edith Wilson while discovering how jewelry reflects culture, artistry, and personal expression across different parts of the world.

The experience blends creativity with historical learning as participants design and craft their own jewelry inspired by classic styles and techniques. Hosted in partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA, the program encourages curiosity, imagination, and hands on learning. Within the preserved surroundings of this historic home, young explorers step into a lively atmosphere where history becomes engaging and meaningful. By creating their own unique designs and exploring cultural traditions of jewelry making, participants gain confidence, artistic skills, and a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship and heritage.
