Girl Scouts "Women of Influence" Tours at Crown Hill Cemetery & Arboretum
Sunday, April 26th at 1PM:
- Girl Scout Flower-laying ceremony at Dorothy Dell's gravesite (15 minutes)
- All scouts will be encouraged to stay for a 30 minute tour of some of the "Women of Influence.
Tour Description:
Legacies are built by women who dared to lead, dream, and do. The Women of Influence: Crown Hill Legacy Patch Program invites Girl Scouts to step into history and discover how women- past and present-shape their communities through courage, character, and commitment. Centered around Crown Hill Cemetery, one of Indiana's most historic and inspiring landmarks, this program encourages girls to explore the stories of remarkable women who rest there- especially Dorothy Dell, the visionary philanthropist whose 1925 gift of 100 acres created Camp Dellwood, empowering generations of Girl Scouts through outdoor education and leadership development. This patch program is a collaborative effort between Girl Scouts of Central Indiana and the Crown Hill Foundation. Crown Hill Cemetery covers 555 acres and serves as the final resting place for more than 250,000 individuals, including numerous influential women who shaped Indiana's history in education, social justice, science, and the arts. This partnership creates meaningful opportunities for Girl Scouts to engage with local history while reinforcing Girl Scout values of leadership, service, and community engagement.
Cost Per Person=$8 Includes ** Brand New** Women of Influence Patch
