What is World Thinking
Day?
It is a day set aside for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all
around the world to honor their Girl Scout/Girl Guide sisters. We celebrate World Thinking Day on February 22. Every year there
is a theme for the day and the World Thinking Day 2015 theme is “We can create
peace through partnerships.”
You can take this opportunity to learn about a different country
or investigate more detail about a country they are already familiar with.
Think about all the
places in the world…where would you like to learn more about?
There’s even a World Thinking Day Award!
You can learn more about the award and download activities
at here.
You can also "Share Your Guiding Light"
All Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world are being challenged to find a creative way to share their #guidinglight. The light of a candle has been used for years by Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world to feel connected, and now it's your chance to connect, share, and shake the world and social media with your Girl Scout spirit!
All you have to do is think of a way to show the world your #guidinglight. You can simply light a candle, or you can get creative and use the sun, your laptop, a lantern, the torch on your phone, a spark from two pieces of flint, or even a campfire! Get family and friends to participate with you!
Here's how:
1. Take a selfie with your #guidinglight and upload it with a message to share with this worldwide movement, and challenge someone else (or a whole country!) to do the same.
2. Share your picture with the #guidinglight hashtage and tag: @girlscouts, @waggs_world, @girlscoutsesc and of course tag us on Facebook, GirlScoutsEsc
How will YOU share your guiding light?
