Alaska Airlines, Boeing, and The Port of Seattle are proud to again
host their annual Aviation Day in Seattle on Saturday, June 7, 2025, 8
AM - 4 PM for youth 11 to 18 years
old. This free event aims to inspire
aviation dreams in youth in our local communities. Aviation Day
provides the opportunity for young adults to learn about the various
paths in the aviation industry as well as educational paths to a
career. Girl Scouts will also get exclusive early access to the flight
simulators from 8-9 AM. You do not need to register separately for
this; it is included for members of Girl Scouts.
PLEASE READ THE DETAILS BELOW BEFORE YOU START YOUR REGISTRATION.
When registering on the Alaska Airlines Aviation Day
site, when prompted with "What organization is your group
with?", please enter Girl Scouts of Western
Washington. GSWW will be collaborating with Alaska Airlines
to track registration, and if you do not enter this you may not be
counted as part of our organization and may not get early simulator
access.
The adult leader of the troop or
group, or parent/guardian if attending without a group, must
register the entire group (adults and youth) at one
time.
Alaska offers several activities, such as
the Network Operations Center tour, that require you to register for a
specific time due to the nature of the experience. You can sign up for
these during the registration process. Browse sessions here.
Spaces are limited and first-come, first-served. You DO NOT need to
sign up for a session in the simulators, as that is included for Girl
Scouts first thing in the morning. Other sessions, however, do require
separate registration if you wish to participate. If a session you are
interested in is full, you may still be able to get in
day-of. The most popular sessions will have standby lanes,
and Alaska has informed us that these are usually successful at
getting folks in. So, come to the location of the session on the day
of the event and wait in the standby lane for another chance to get
into the session(s) of your choice.
If you have a Fly
Like a Girl Scout shirt, please wear it to the event! We are still
determining whether we will be able to offer these to participants at
check-in this year and will update this listing (and confirmation
closer to the event) accordingly.
Cost:
FREE for all Girl Scouts ages 11 to
18.
Drop Off: This is not a
drop-off event, so youth need to be accompanied by a parent or
guardian. If attending with your troop, there must be a correct ratio
of youth to adults (even if Alaska requests a different ratio). All
adults must also register for the event. Ratio information can be
found on pages 5-6 of the Safety Activity
Checkpoints. Reminder: The adult leader of the
troop or group, or parent/guardian if attending without a group, must
register the entire group (adults and youth) at one time.
Prerequisite: Girl Scouts MUST be at least
11 years old. Adult ratios are required
unless attending as a parent/guardian-youth pair.
Registration Deadline: 5/30/2025
(please
note that this is a third-party event, space is limited, and
registration may actually close prior to this date)
GSWW follows current Washington StateCOVID guidelines, which may be subject to
change. For third-party events, GSWW program partners are required to
comply as well.
