GSEM Silver Award Project Catalog

Leather Stamping Kit

Project Details: The Girl Scouts of Troop 3364 decided to bring awareness to the history and significance of leather stamping to earn their Girl Scout Silver Award. To ensure they were as knowledgeable as possible, the Cadettes researched the history of leather stamping and taught each other on what they learned. Then, they began purchasing supplies and assembling leather stamping kits. To introduce fellow Girl Scouts to leather stamping, the Cadettes brought the kits to camp to teach their peers about the craft and the various techniques involved. They also lead a workshop at their local library. The Cadettes left kits at the library for those interested in learning more about leather stamping in the future.
