The event is open to all Girl Scouts levels and will include workshops where the scouts will complete tasks to earn a badge.
“The Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania is very excited to partner with Pocono Raceway to offer girls a variety of different badges and learning opportunities,” said Amber Trunzo, Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania Regional Director. “The younger girls will get to design race cars while the older girls will learn about different aspects of business.
