1st Bridgewater Brownies take 894,000 steps

Posted on Apr 30, 2014

Sending a shout out to the 1st Bridgewater Brownies unit who collectively walked over 894,000 steps in just one week for their OneStep™ Girl Guide Pedometer Challenge, exceeding their goal of 500,000 steps. Incorporating the OneStep™ challenge into their Key to Active Living program was a great way to show the girls they can do anything if they put their minds, heart and feet into it. Congratulations to Sandra Johnston and her fellow leaders for motivating the girls and leading by example. Way to go girls!
