Girl Scout Thinking Day is an annual event celebrated by Girl Scouts around the world.
It typically takes place on February 22nd, the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and his wife Olave Baden-Powell, who served as the World Chief Guide.
During Thinking Day, Girl Scouts reflect on the global sisterhood of scouting and guiding, learning about different cultures, traditions, and issues facing girls and women worldwide.
They often engage in activities such as crafts, games, songs, and presentations that focus on international understanding and friendship.
This day provides an opportunity for girls to connect with their peers from diverse backgrounds and to develop empathy, respect, and appreciation for other cultures.
Through these experiences, girls gain a broader perspective on the world and are inspired to take action to make it a better place.
Each scouts bring lots of pennies/nickels/quarters to buy food samples and swaps!!!
Money collected will be split between the Juliette Gordon Lowe World Friendship Fund and SHARE – to help benefit girls in our area!
Scouts should bring a small reusable bag or container, coin purse or the like to hold their pennies and nickels as well as the swaps they collect
This is volunteer hours for older girls who attend to help set up and clean up.
These will be counted as Service Unit/Troop hours you need for your Silver Trefoil Award.
