Honor Those Impacted

Girl Scout families and troops are invited to experience the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum as part of a special Girl Scout Adventure program designed for all levels, Daisy through Ambassador. Girl Scouts who learn the story of help and healing in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing will earn a special patch.

My grandmother survived the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building, so this story has always been part of my life. Even though it’s been over 30 years since April 19, 1995, I think it’s really important that younger generations keep learning about what happened, the impact of violence and how we can all do better. We can’t let people forget.

The patch, along with age-appropriate curriculum (found below), was created by Megan Starling as part of her Gold Award project. Megan is the granddaughter of Oklahoma City bombing Survivor and Family Member Polly Nichols.

The patch honors those who were impacted in 1995 and encourages the next generation to practice the Oklahoma Standard – Service, Honor, and Kindness – in their communities today. The Girl Scouts Gold Award is the highest honor in Girl Scouts, earned by a project that is meaningful, sustainable and that creates lasting change.

The story we tell has a lasting impact, and we encourage every effort to drive a new generation of visitors to explore and learn.
