Join us for another great Monroe Jingle Bell Run 5K and Half-Marathon. With this event, we aim to encourage our community to embrace a more active lifestyle while also supporting our local Scouting programs. The race will begin and end in Forsythe Park.
The Monroe Jingle Bell Run will raise funds to support local Scouts in Northeast & Central Louisiana including our programs for at-risk youth and scholarships to Camp T.L. James and Camp Attakapas. It will help ensure that EVERY youth has the opportunity to be part of a great organization that will develop our future leaders of tomorrow no matter what social background or economic status. Scouting is needed more today than ever before.
