Girls in Aviation Day with United Airlines

Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors are invited to join an all-female team of United Airlines employees for Girls in Aviation Day on Saturday, October 5, 2019 from 9 a.m. – noon at Denver International Airport. United Airlines promotes diversity in the workplace; thus they have the highest percentage of women pilots. Talent Acquisition and Human Resources will be present to provide career pathing advice. This event will introduce Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors to eight different fields in aviation.

  2. Finance Office: Learn the cost of an aircraft and all of the pieces that an airline needs to function financially.
  3. Flight Operations: Learn how to chart a flight.
  4. Catering: Learn how to create a catering cart.

Cookies delivered to the USO post at DIA

1,800 packages of Girl Scout Cookies were delivered to the USO post at Denver International Airport on Tuesday, April 9, 2019 for active military members and veterans, along with their families, to enjoy. They are a portion of the 12,000 packages of cookies, which Girl Scouts delivered to the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora on Thursday, March 28. In 2018, the USO at DIA  served more than 132,000 visitors. Skip Vanderbach, Center Director for USO Denver, wrote a beautiful thank you letter to Colorado Girl Scouts, which you can read below.

Making the world a better place is central to the Girl Scout mission. The Girl Scout Cookies that were delivered were purchased as part of Girl Scouts’ Hometown Heroes/Gift of Caring program. Customers purchase a package of cookies to donate to Girl Scouts’ heroes – a perfect solution for those who pass on the tempting treats! Girls learn about the invaluable work of their recipients by taking tours, learning about careers in public service, and helping with service projects. Girl Scouts’ Hometown Heroes/Gift of Caring program also honors non-profit organizations, food banks, military, and other uniformed personnel who are so important to the community.

Girl Scout Thank You
