Women in Aviation Exhibit Safari
All Girl Scouts will participate in a Women in Aviation tour. The Hiller Aviation Museum displays several aircraft flown by noted female aviators, and its Women in Aviation exhibition highlights twenty different female flyers past and present from around the world.
Girls are encouraged to explore the Gallery to learn more about these pioneering aviatrices and their aircraft by completing an Exhibit Safari, with answers found within the Gallery. Troops returning a completed safari to the Docent Station (adjacent to the Gift Shop and bathrooms) will receive a special prize for each girl in attendance.
