Join Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois for the Thin Mint Sprint, which includes a Half-Marathon, 5K Run/Walk and 1-Mile Fun Run! This timed race provides a great opportunity for men, women and children to get active while supporting the world’s premier leadership organization for girls! Event proceeds will help GSSI provide quality programming, adult volunteer training, camp maintanance and financial assistance for girls across southern Illinois.  All participants are encouraged to join our “Sea of Green” by wearing Girl Scout Green, dressing up as your favorite Girl Scout Cookie, or showing off your Girl Scout memorabilia!


With 100 years of heritage, Girl Scouting still offers relevant experiences to today’s girls, such as the opportunity to travel, to explore science, math and technology, to rappel down a cliff, to understand financial literacy and business skills, to volunteer in their communities and to gain the Courage, Confidence and Character to pursue their dreams and make the world a better place.
