Join us for an exciting week of hands-on career exploration! During GSMC Scout Career Week, Scouts will visit leading industry partners across our region to get a behind-the-scenes look at a wide range of careers, while learning about internships, entry level positions, and more!

Each day will include one or more tours where Scouts will:

• Explore different industries and what companies do day-to-day
• Learn about career pathways, from skilled trades to degree-based professions
• Hear directly from professionals about their work and experiences
• Gain insight into internships, entry-level roles, and future opportunities

Come ready to explore, ask questions, and discover where your future could take you!

This experience is designed to help Scouts better understand the many paths available after high school and beyond all while making valuable connections along the way.

This event is open to Scouts 15 -20 years old. Current registered leaders and adult volunteers are welcome to sign up as chaperones (4 spots available, 2 needed as drivers).
