World Thinking Day, also known as Thinking Day, was first celebrated in 1926 during the fourth World Conference of the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts held at Girl Scouts of the USA’s Camp Edith Macy (now Edith Macy Conference Center) in New York.
The delegates at the conference decided to create a special day when Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world would think of each other and appreciate their global sisterhood. February 22 was chosen as the date for this celebration because it is the shared birthday of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scout movement, and his wife, Lady Olave Baden-Powell, who served as World Chief Guide.
World Thinking Day is an annual event that encourages Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from over 150 countries to learn about and appreciate different cultures, develop international friendships, and take action on important global issues.
Each year, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) selects a theme that focuses on a specific issue, such as gender equality, environmental sustainability, or mental health, to encourage girls to think critically and develop solutions to global challenges.
To celebrate World Thinking Day, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, as well as their supporters, can:
1. Learn about the annual theme and its relevance to global issues.
2. Participate in activities, games, and discussions related to the theme and share their experiences with others.
3. Connect with other Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world through letters, emails, or social media to share stories and ideas.
4. Organize or attend events that promote international understanding and friendship.
5. Raise funds for the World Thinking Day Fund, which supports the global Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting movement, particularly in developing countries.
World Thinking Day serves as an opportunity for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to come together in a spirit of international friendship and understanding, while also empowering them to take action and create positive change in their communities and the world.
