GSMW, in partnership with Eastern Wyoming College and Women in Trucking, invites Girl Scouts and their friends and families to our first-ever transportation expo: Trucks are for Girls!
At the event, Girl Scouts will learn about an important segment of our economy while getting up-close views of a tractor-trailer, coach, school bus, and more in a fun-filled day of learning. Participants will leave the event with a better understanding of what keeps America moving and how YOU can be part of it. Each child participant will receive a custom Women In Trucking Association transportation patch.
The event includes vendors from all over the transportation field, including representatives from the Eastern Wyoming College CDL Program, Women in Trucking, Coach USA, Wyoming Department of Transportation, Converse County School District, and MORE! All vendors are women-owned, managed, or supported, proving that Trucks are for Girls!
We will have a handful of guest speakers during the event in addition to hands-on activities and experiences. Children will crawl inside a truck and learn about the operations and functions. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore careers in the trucking and transportation industry, and they can talk with the amazing women forging-ahead in this field.
Child participants will receive a special patch for participating. Everyone will leave with exciting memories and an understanding of the transportation field! Please register all child and adult participants so we can prepare the right number of supplies. Adult registration is FREE. All children must be accompanied by an adult, and troops should meet required adult-to-child ratios.
Registration for this event is $6 per child and closes on September 30th. After September 30th, your program registration is non-refundable.
