Automotive Badge
Workshops for Girl Scout Troops
The following Automotive Badge Workshop Guides were developed for
troops of Junior and Cadette/Senior Girl Scouts in Henry County,
Tenn. However, because they would work well for Girl Scout troops
anywhere, the Women's Board has obtained permission from the local
scout leader to reproduce this document on our Web site. This
program also can be adapted for other groups including women's
clubs, school groups and civic organizations. The Women's Board of
the Car Care Council is not affiliated with the Girl Scouts of
America.
Why An Automotive Badge Workshop?
Women are a vital part of the automotive aftermarket.
In fact, women make up 50-80 percent of service provider customers.
What can your repair facility or retail store do to promote its
products and services to this market? Host an automotive
badge workshop for local Girl Scout
troops.
A badge workshop provides the opportunity to
show young women why car maintenance is important to ensure safety,
dependability and greater return on investment. This event allows
you to start early in creating tomorrow's customers. With the help
of this guide, it should only take two hours of prep time, and less
three hours of workshop time on a weeknight or Saturday morning.
