Get ready to explore a career path where learning meets hands-on action! Join us for an exciting field trip to the Tampa Bay Pipe Trades JATC, where you'll discover the different educational opportunities available through a 5-year apprenticeship in plumbing, pipefitting/welding, or HVAC service.

This isn't just a tour-you'll get to roll up your sleeves and try out hands-on projects that give you a real feel for what these skilled trades are all about. From seeing high-tech equipment in action to learning from industry professionals, this experience is designed to spark curiosity and build skills. Participants will earn the STEM Career Exploration Badge, which will be distributed at the conclusion of the event.

Important Safety Note:
Some activities will involve high-heat processes. For safety, all participants must wear long pants, short- or long-sleeved shirts, and closed-toe shoes.

 

Event Registration Guidelines:
Events must be paid in full with a credit/debit card to complete the registration process and immediately secure your spot.
Council programs and events can be paid for by redeeming your Girl Scout's Program Credit/Council Dough/Council Credit, by selecting "Program Credit" during check out, but this process does not guarantee your spot in the program due to the two to three days of processing time. To ensure your spot is secured at the time of registration, it is recommended that you pay for the event using a credit/debit card and then email info@gswcf.org or call 813-281-4475 to apply credits to the order and reimburse your card. You will be asked to provide the event name, attendees' name(s), and the amount of credits you'd like to apply.

Adult Chaperones:
All girls are welcome to attend this event but must be accompanied by a registered adult member. If the adult is not her parent/guardian, the chaperone must also have a valid background check.
Adults must register for this event if they will be attending.
Leaders who register for this event as a troop activity must adhere to only bringing enough adults to provide girl/adult safety ratio as described in Volunteer Essentials.
