Abstract
“Be Fit with Friends,” a partnership between the IHPR and Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas, encourages girls to engage in physical activity through planned activities, education, social media, and more. San Antonio Girl Scouts were instrumental in developing the “Be Fit with Friends” program, identifying barriers to physical activity (for instance, basketball courts in use by boys, concerns about neighborhood safety) and creating a Facebook page to connect to others in the program.
