The girls will be transported by Greenville Jet Center to tour the air traffic control tower and Special Services Corporation will show them their aircraft maintenance facility and provide a plane for them to look inside the cockpit.  "Then our Girl Scouts will complete a variety of hands-on projects that are required to earn the badge," said Lynn Arve, Director of Program Services,Girl Scouts of South Carolina - Mountains to Midlands.
 
"The Girl Scouts will learn about aviation while making a paper airplane, which they will modify as we go, so they can see how adding flaps changes the flight of the plane," stated Mike Gisman A.K.A. "Molecular Mike", with Mad Science of the Upstate. "We will also launch a couple of model rockets with different engines," Grisman said. "They will also make a kite and fly it," added Grisman. Lunch will be provided by Greeniville Downtown airport's Runway Cafe.
 
"Many pilots discovered their interest in aviation in their youth," stated Joe Frasher, Airport Director of Greenville Downtown Airport. "Our industry is facing a future pilot shortage and we are always looking for ways to inspire youth with the awe of aviation,"  stated Frasher.  "Maybe one of these girl will grow up and fly for Southwest Airlines," Frasher noted.
 
The mission of the Girl Scouts is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
