Girl Scouts of Hawaii started a career program called Girls In for high school members across the state. Over 8 to 10 weeks, scouts visit workplaces, practice skills, and get connected to internships. The fields in the first version are health care, finance, real estate, and construction.
The council describes it as the first program of its kind for the scouts. The weeks are visits and training, not a job already offered to every girl who signs up.
