ST. LOUI S – The Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is teaming up with Women in Trucking through a partnership with Dot Transportation to give girls in grades 6-12 an up-close and personal look at the world of truck driving from a female perspective. During this innovative program, girls will participate in fun, hands-on activities related to supply chain, and even climb inside a real 18-wheeler while meeting a female Dot Transportation driver and hearing first-hand about her experiences in the industry. Dot Transportation is the trucking affiliate of Dot Foods, North America’s largest food industry redistributor.
Through participation in this program, girls will become engaged with the trucking industry and understand that their natural talents can serve the industry in various roles, whether that’s as a professional driver, engineer, business owner, technician, trainer, or corporate professional.
“Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is excited to offer this innovative new program to our Girl Scouts,” said Nicole Dalton, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri Director of Programs and Partnerships. “We greatly appreciate the local support we have received from Dot Transportation to help inspire the discovery of new career considerations for our middle and high school girls.”
The program will be held Sun., Oct. 30, 1-4 pm at the Berges Family Girl Scout Program Center, 2300 Ball Dr., St. Louis 63146
We’re Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
