Girl Scouts Transportation YOU Program

From 2016 to 2018, the  Central PA Chapter partnered with the Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania for a monthly Transportation YOU program.  Our volunteers organized and led a monthly TYOU Girl Scout Club that focused on different transportation-related topics.  A big thank you goes out to all of our volunteers who helped make the program successful.

While the TYOU Girl Scouts Club programming commitment has come to a close, the Girl Scouts are looking forward to our Chapter's future involvement in the creation of transportation-specific programming materials that can be used by any troop linked to the Hearth of PA system and our participation in their annual STEM Expos.
