Cool off this summer and celebrate Girl Scouting with
Dairy Queen’s new Girl Scout Thin Mint Blizzard in July.  


Girl Scouts of the USA and International Dairy Queen have teamed up to promote Girl Scouting across the country.  DQ is holding a special Girl Scouts Appreciation Week July 7-13.
 
River Valleys staff has sent all 170+ Dairy Queen stores in our jurisdiction a small Girl Scout promotional kit with some flyers, brochures, interest indicator forms, and bookmarks. Local Girl Scout service units and troops are encouraged to contact their local Dairy Queen if they are interested in working with the store management to possibly host an informational Girl Scout booth, set up a behind-the-scenes store tour, etc.
