After the run, the girls were encouraged to write their personal resolutions on the “New Day Resolution Wall.” Written on that wall were comments such as becoming more active, being more positive, promising to walk their dogs more frequently, and being nicer to their siblings. Money raised from the event will help fund Girl Scouts’ “Live Healthy, Lead Healthy” programs. Are there similar activities in your area to get youth involved in healthy living initiatives?
