For the second year, THOR sponsors Girl Scouts Love State Parks
weekend focused on inclusivity in the outdoors and stewardship of
public lands
ELKHART,
Ind., Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Underscoring
its continued commitment to promoting inclusivity in the outdoors,
THOR Industries, Inc. (NYSE: THO)
is highlighting its two-year partnership with Girl Scouts of the
USA (GSUSA), the preeminent
leadership development organization for girls grades K-12, through
the short film "Stronger Together".
In the multi-year partnership, THOR sponsors GSUSA's largest and most popular
outdoor event, Girl Scouts Love State Parks. The annual event is
hosted in nearly 500 state parks across all 50 states and
Puerto Rico. The 2022 event,
occurring September 10th
and 11th, will be focused on inclusivity and park
stewardship.
Girl Scouts will once again incorporate THOR's sustainability program, Pick Up
America, into its park stewardship efforts. Any of the nearly
75,000 Girl Scouts and families expected to participate may pledge
to remove bags of trash from public lands through a
custom-designed, co-branded Pick Up America website. Since the
founding of the partnership, Girl Scouts have pledged to remove
more than 22 tons of trash from public lands – contributing to more
than 259 tons of trash pledged to be removed from public lands
since the Pick Up America program launched in 2019.
"We are proud to be working with Girl Scouts and look forward to
supporting their continued success in providing girls with outdoor
experiences that build confident, courageous leaders," shared
Bob Martin, President and CEO of
THOR Industries. "Girl Scouts Love
State Parks is a great opportunity to connect people with nature
and families with each other while promoting stewardship in state
parks across our great nation."
The film, "Stronger Together: Girl Scouts and THOR's commitment to equity in the outdoors"
illustrates the organizations' shared values and shared commitment
to outdoor equity and environmental stewardship.

We Are Girl Scouts of the
USA
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to
build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, Girl
Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically
themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new
challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the
top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for
climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by
trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl
Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that
affect the issues most important to them. To join us, volunteer,
reconnect, or donate, visit girlscouts.org.
