Junior - Historical Craftsmanship Project
In an effort to combine our country's 250th anniversary and discussion about how documents like the Declaration of Independence were written (by hand), this year we are opening a craft to create a feather quill, followed by a learning contest regarding Calligraphy. Did you know Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence but Timothy Matlock’s handwriting is what we see on the document? Penmanship was just as important today as it was in 1776. Following building your feather pen, you are encouraged to learn a bit about calligraphy. Leaders, older Juniors, parents and guardians should also read a few sentences or a section of the Declaration of Independence to younger Juniors.
