Registration

Online enrollment is encouraged for Daisies, Brownies and Juniors to facilitate immediate processing. Space is limited and programs may fill up. Telephone registration is available at (650) 654-0200. Paper registration forms may be submitted with payment to the Hiller Aviation Museum, 601 Skyway Rd., San Carlos, CA 94070. Registrations may also be faxed to (650) 654-0220.
The program fee for each Girl Scout is charged at the time of registration. Additional girls may be added on a space-available at a later date and will be grouped together with their Troop so long as the Troop number is provided on the registration form. Cancellations must be requested seven days in advance and will have a processing fee of $5/Scout deducted from the refund.
Adults and siblings joining in-person programs will be admitted at the discounted rate of $10/person. Adult/sibling admission is not charged together with Girl Scout registration, but must be paid in person on the day of the program.
Women in Aviation Exhibit Safari
All Girl Scouts will participate in a Women in Aviation tour. The Hiller Aviation Museum displays several aircraft flown by noted female aviators, and its Women in Aviation exhibition highlights twenty different female flyers past and present from around the world.
Girls are encouraged to explore the Gallery to learn more about these pioneering aviatrices and their aircraft by completing an Exhibit Safari, with answers found within the Gallery. Troops returning a completed safari to the Docent Station (adjacent to the Gift Shop and bathrooms) will receive a special prize for each girl in attendance.
