TROOP 2025 CHARIHO CADETTES OF RI
BOOK ARTIST BADGE

We received an email in March from Assistant Troop Leader, Jennifer Basile.  Jennifer and her daughters had visited the Origami Poems display ('manned' by Lynnie Gobeille) at the Charlestown Farmers' Market!  She asked the OPP for help with the cadettes' Book Artist Badge.  

The four girls working on the badge wrote a total of 6 poems about scouting and drew a cover!  We hope this helps them get their badge.  Please send us a photo when you do!

Our troop has scouts of all levels.  Cadettes are in grades 6-8.  Our four cadettes are working on their Book Artist badge.  They must fulfill the steps below to earn the badge:
 
1.       Explore the art of bookbinding
2.       Get familiar with the insides of a book
3.       Try out book artist techniques
4.       Focus on function
5.       Focus on style
 
After discussing book binding techniques, we created our own simple stitch books, which we then used to pen the Girl Scout poems you see in this book.  We are very excited to support the goals of the Origami Poetry Project while exploring and creating as book artists.
 
Thank you!

I like Girl Scouts
because you get to
go camping
and it is fun
and you eat
 
desserts
