Calling all curious Brownies, Juniors, and Cadettes! Ever wondered
how natural gas gets safely to your home to heat your shower or cook
your favorite meal? It does not just magically appear--it takes a
skilled team of hardworking professionals to build, maintain, and
protect that underground system every single day. Now, your Girl Scout
can meet them!
Join us for a hands-on, action-packed
afternoon at the Ameren Maryville Operating Center, where
Brownie-Cadette Girl Scouts will rotate through exciting activity
stations led by real gas industry pros.
What Girl Scouts Will Do:
- Learn the basics of natural gas safety
- Build their own hula hoop using real PE pipe
- Assemble a working model of a gas meter
- Explore real construction tools and equipment
- Safely operate a mini excavator with expert guidance
Yes... a mini excavator!!
This is more than just
fun... It is confidence-building, skill-sparking, and a
chance
to see careers in action! Girl Scouts will discover how teamwork,
safety,
problem-solving, and hands-on skills power the energy
industry.
What to Bring:
- Closed-toed shoes are REQUIRED. No exceptions!
- Water bottle
- This is not a drop-off event. The troop leader, parent, or guardian must remain on site. Please refer to Safety Activity Checkpoints for troop safety ratios.
Get ready to dig in, build big, and explore exciting careers that
keep our
communities running strong. We cannot wait to see our
Energy Explorers in
action!
Cost is $5 per girl and
includes a fun patch! Registration deadline is May 4th,
2026.
