Much like the Olympic torch run, the GSSI flag is currently being passed from community to community by girls and volunteers. The flag run began during GSSI’s Sunrise Ceremony at the Corporate Service Center in Glen Carbon on March 12, 2012 and is progressing through southern Illinois.   The flag’s current location is highlighted in green.
