Sappi North America Partners With Girls Scouts To Create New Patch About Pulp And Paper Technology
Sappi North America Inc., a leading producer and supplier of diversified paper, packaging products and pulp, in partnership with the Girl Scouts of Maine, today announced the national rollout of the Paper Scientist Patch program. The patch program teaches girls the science and technology of the pulp and paper industry.
The first-of-its-kind program first welcomed Girl Scouts from around the State of Maine in 2017 to attend a paper scientist expo at Sappi’s Technology Center in Westbrook. Girl Scouts participated in activities aimed at teaching the science of paper, ranging from papermaking to recycling, and could earn their Paper Scientist Patch at the conclusion of the expo. With the addition of the Technical Association of Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) as a partner in the initiative earlier this year, the Girl Scout patch program has expanded nationally, celebrating the science and technology of the pulp and paper industry.
