Girls and leaders from 13 Daisy troops, Brownie troops, Junior troops, and even Cadette troops ran with other Seneca Valley students for the 1.2 mile run over the Warhol Bridge and through the streets of Pittsburgh.
This event was the culmination of months of planning and preparing for the Girl Scouts.
