GSSEM Creative Compass Patch Program: Join local, renowned artists
Amanda Koss and Dione Trip to craft your very own upcycled book and

program focused on self expression and creativity!
The
GSSEM Creative Compass Patch Program, under the creation and expertise
of local artist Amanda Koss, is designed to be a transformative
program to inspire Girl Scouts to reach their highest potential by
recognizing and unlocking their inherent creative abilities! By
connecting Girl Scouts with working artists, artisans, and innovative
opportunities - the program fosters curiosity, self-expression, and
personal growth. In a supportive and empowering environment, Girl
Scouts will explore unconventional ways to impact their communities
while discovering their own unique creative paths.
Created by artist and curator Amanda Koss, this program reflects her
commitment to empowering youth, nurturing creativity, and providing
access to the tools and opportunities needed to achieve their
dreams.
Patch Session #1: Upcycled Book Making
and Reflective Writing
During this event, Girl Scouts will explore the art of
sustainable bookmaking using found and repurposed materials, guided by
renowned sculpture artist Dione Tripp. Based in Jackson, Michigan,
Dione has traveled the globe, creating art and engaging with diverse
communities and children. This hands-on activity highlights the
importance of sustainability and creativity, teaching Girl Scouts how
to turn everyday items into meaningful works of art.
If
time permits, the session will include a calming meditation and
reflective writing activity, offering a unique opportunity for
self-expression. Each Girl Scout will leave with a handmade book they
can use for journaling, reflective writing, or drawing, continuing
their creative journey at home.
