Girl Scout Shop Hours
116 runners and walkers braved the chilly (but sunny) weather at the Thin Mint Sprint 5K and One Mile Fun Run/Walk at Emporia State University on March 5. There was even a sleep-in option for those who wanted to support Girl Scouts, but enjoy their warm, cozy beds. Girl Scouts
and community members of all ages ran, walked and strolled through the streets of Emporia to support the premier leadership organization for girls—Girl Scouts! It’s not too early to start training for next year’s race!
