GIRL SCOUTS PATCH ON RAIL SAFETY

METRO 'Think Rail' activities reach girls of all ages

Northside-area Girl Scouts from Troop #24472 celebrate completion of the Think Rail safety patch program for light rail.

Five hundred and fifty individual Girl Scouts – that's nearly 50 area troops – are proudly sporting new METRORail safety patches in neighborhoods from Northside to the East End, Cypress to Pearland and beyond. The girls successfully completed METRO's new twist on training through an original light-rail safety activity program with the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC) that prepares them for the arrival of new METRORail lines.

With activities for all age levels – from Brownies to Ambassadors – the Think Rail awareness program is an interactive venue for girls to learn about safety which is a top priority for METRO and one of the most important goals of Girl Scouting.

The Think Rail patch program is just one part of METRO’s ongoing safety initiatives. It expands upon METRO’s school safety training, which has reached more than 32,000 students in schools along the light-rail lines since 2013.
