The NPS is currently involved with other federal agencies in "Linking Girls to the Land", an initiative that focuses on trying to involve young women in the protection and maintenance of natural resources, particularly at the local level. “Linking Girls to the Land” regional workshops take place at parks or other locations where NPS staff present information to scout leaders and parents on the different employment, internship, and volunteer opportunities for young women.
To find out more about the program, you can call the Youth Programs Division at (202) 513-7146 or Jodi Stewart, Project Consultant of GSUSA, at 1-800-223-0624. You can also visit the Girl Scouts Web Site through the logo above.
