The Boy Scouts of America and the Glynn County Fire Department are joining forces to introduce a career training program for high-school aged youth this year.
“It’s a big initiative we’re trying to promote in Glynn County, and in surrounding counties, but primarily in Glynn County,” said Jed Hewitt, BSA Coastal Georgia Council director.
Explorer posts, set up within organizations like the Southeast Georgia Health System hospital, allow high school students to get hands-on experience in the field, Hewitt said. The fire department post and a planned law enforcement post are both being kickstarted thanks to a grant from United Way of Coastal Georgia, Hewitt said.
