World Thinking Day



World Thinking Day, which takes place on February 22nd, is a day girls participate in activities and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world. Its origin trace back to 1926 when conference attendees decided in the fourth Girl Guide/Girl Scout International Conference that there should be a special day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. The day chosen was February 22nd, because it is the mutual birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and his wife, Olave, who served as World Chief Guide.


More information about the history of World Thinking Day is available at girl scouts.
