World Thinking Day

Thinking Day was first created in 1926 at the fourth Girl Guide/Girl Scout International Conference held at Girl Scouts of the USA's Camp Edith Macy (now called Edith Macy Conference Center). Conference attendees decided that there should be a special day for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from around the world to "think" of each other and give thanks and appreciation to their "sister" Girl Scouts. The delegates chose February 22 as the date for Thinking Day because it was the mutual birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and his wife, Olave, who served as World Chief Guide. To emphasize the global aspect of Thinking Day, members at the 30th World Conference, held in Ireland in 1999, changed the name from Thinking Day to World Thinking Day.

World Thinking Day will be held on February 26th at Concord High School, 4200 Concord Blvd., Concord 94521 in the Multi-Use Room.

We should all try to be there by 9:10/9:15 so that we can walk in as a troop. Please wear you Daisy Smock!

The schedule of the day is as follows...

9:30 to 10:00: Welcome Flag Ceremony and Announcements

10:00 to 12:00: Visit Booths (booths will be set up as countries. Our girls will be receiving passports that will be stamped as they travel from place to place). We will announce at the halfway point, so the groups can switch places.
12:00 to 12:30: Closing Friendship Circle and make new friends.
