Girl Scouts are invited to cheer on participants of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at First Ward Park in support of breast cancer patients, survivors, thrivers and caregivers.
Girl Scouts will decorate signs to hold along the 3-mile route to encourage and celebrate the breast cancer survivors, thrivers, caregivers, family and friends! Girls and troops will be placed at designated stops to help direct participants through route turns.
Girls participating as Route Marshalls/Cheerers will also receive a box of sidewalk chalk to be used to decorate their area of the sidewalk/road for the walk. Pictures and messages are asked to be positive and encouraging for walkers.
Girl Scouts will assist during the survivor/thriver recognition ceremony to be held on stage. They will be assigned a sign (0-1 year,1-2 year, 10 yrs, etc) and assist participants getting into the row that corresponds with their sign. At the end of the recognition ceremony they will help lead survivors/thrivers from the stage to start the walk.
Registered Girl Scouts will earn a breast cancer awareness patch to be picked up in the Girl Scout Tent at Making Strides.
Please check-in upon arrival at the Girls Scouts tent to receive your patch and route location.
The banner decoration tent will open at 8:30am, Girl Scouts are encouraged to arrive by 9:00am to allow time to decorate.
The walk starts at 10:30 am and finishes by 11:30am. All decorating supplies will be provided.
