VIDEO From Medialink and General Motors: The Newest Girl Scout Merit Badge
Posted on: Tuesday, 7 November 2006, 15:01 CST
Girl Scouts in a car service garage? No, they are not selling cookies. They are earning a first-of-its-kind merit badge - automotive. Most Girl Scouts are too young to drive a car. But, that doesn't mean it's not important for them to have knowledge about something they probably ride in everyday - and will even drive at some point in their lives.

Cadets can earn their 'Car Sense Badge' by taking a more proactive approach in preventative maintenance. They learn how to do things like changing the oil and checking tire pressure.
This badge is one way to encourage and teach children about non-traditional career paths. There are many opportunities available in the automotive business, as carmakers need workers at all levels - from design to engineering; to sales and service. General Motors is supporting the Girl Scout Car Care badge by hosting clinics at dealerships nationwide.
