GIRL
SCOUTS OF LIMBERLOST COUNCIL – www.girlscouts-limberlost.org
Girl Scouts of Limberlost Council administers programs
in Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Steuben, and Wells counties
in northeast Indiana. Our council history dates back to 1918. Today,
across these counties in northern Indiana, nearly 10,000 girls of
all ages are learning at troop meetings, building skills through
individual and team activities, and giving back to the community
through service projects. They are mentored by more than 2,200 adult
volunteers.
The
Council’s Mary Jane McMillen Crowe Leadership and Learning
Center is easily accessible near the intersection of I-469 and I-69
in northern Allen County. Funded by the recently completed “A
Promise to Every Girl” capital campaign, the 18,000-square-foot,
two-story facility opened in November 2006. It features enhanced
meeting, learning, program and training space, and the conveniently
located and fully-stocked “Patches & S’more…”
Council Store. The dynamic facility provides personal interaction
opportunities while offering positive and efficient work space for
girls, volunteers, and staff.
The Council also owns and operates two outdoor facilities. McMillen
Program Center includes 103 acres of wooded ravines, meadows, and
trails in northern Allen County. It's where girls explore the out-of-doors
through troop and summer camp activities. In the summer, day camp
sessions operate and girls participate in songs, games, water fun,
trail walks, sports, and so much more. They enjoy cookouts, nature
activities, and the climbing tower and zipline.
Camp Logan is comprised of 220 acres of woods, meadows, ravines,
and natural wetlands in Syracuse, Indiana. The camp is open year-round
and provides a variety of possibilities, including summer resident
(overnight) camp programs. Overnight camp offers girls a variety
of experiences, including horseback riding, swimming and canoeing
in Dewart Lake. Troops looking for exciting outdoor or camping opportunities
may choose to spend a day, a night, or a weekend at Camp Logan.
Girl Scouts of Limberlost Council is proud of its recognition as
one of the top 10 Girl Scout councils in the nation in regard to
