In Fabergé's Workshop (Junior
Girl Scouts)
Girl Scouts will explore the Museum's collection of sumptuous and fanciful
gifts created by imperial Russia's most famous jeweler, Carl Peter Fabergé!
Girls will also encounter many magnificent "tokens of affection"
made by Fabergé's predecessors and contemporaries and exchanged
by 18th and 19th-century elites around the globe. Afterwards, Scouts
will make their own golden, Fabergé-style creations for their
own collections or for modern-day gift-giving! Activities fulfill six
requirements for the Jeweler badge.

Garden Journeys: Discovering the Japanese-style Garden
(Junior Girl Scouts)
Glorious formal gardens enliven the Hillwood estate--each one with
its own story to tell! In this program, Girl Scouts will discover the
beauty, tranquility, and whimsy of our unique "mountainside" Japanese-style Garden created in the 1950s for Hillwood's founder, Marjorie
Merriweather Post. Scouts will have the opportunity to explore the garden,
listen to traditional Japanese haiku inspired by nature, and learn about
the haiku masters who created it! Scouts will be so inspired, they'll
be able to write and share their own haiku drawn from the beauty surrounding
them. Afterwards, Scouts will create their own miniature Japanese-style
garden to take home!
Activities fulfill six requirements for the Outdoor Creativity
badge.
