On Thursday, January 17 River Valleys will celebrate the first annual Girl Scout Spirit Day. Show Your Girl Scout Pride To participate, girls are asked to wear their Girl Scout uniform, pins and related items to school. Girls should also help spread the word about the fun and friendship of Girl Scouts by talking with friends and handing out the flyer found here: www.girlscoutsrv.org/2012/12/21/girl-scout-spirit-day/ Troop Incentive All participating girls are eligible to win special VIP seating for their troop at the May 4 Cookie Concert! To enter: 1. Take a photo on January 17 dressed up in your Girl Scout attire 2. Email your photo to Laura Sartain (laura.sartain@girlscoutsrv.org) by January 30, 2013. 3.
