What is Thinking Day?
Each year, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts throughout the world celebrate
Thinking Day on February 22. On this important date Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
give special emphasis to international friendship. February 22 was chosen
because it is the birthday of both our Founder, Robert Baden-Powell, and the
World Chief Guide, Olave Baden-Powell.
How does Girl Guides of Canada-Guides-du-Canada celebrate Thinking Day?
WAGGGS and GGC are focusing on the Millennium Development Goals and the
WAGGGS Global Action Theme (GAT) messages. Each year one goal (one GAT
message) will be chosen as the focus for that year. In 2009 we focused on
stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. For 2010, the
theme is “end extreme hunger and poverty”.
World Thinking Day is a chance for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to think about
their peers in other parts of the world and put thoughts into action by raising
funds for the World Thinking Day Fund.
The Fund is used by WAGGGS to develop the Movement in places where it does not
currently exist and to develop leadership and other skills in all 145 Member
Organizations that are currently members of WAGGGS.
