World Thinking Day is a day of friendship, advocacy and fundraising for 10 million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world.
World Thinking Day, formerly Thinking Day, is celebrated annually on February 22 by all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. It is also celebrated by Scout and Guide organizations and some boy-oriented associations
around the world. It is a day when they think about the their "sisters"
(and "brothers") in all the countries of the world, the meaning of
Guiding, and its global impact.
Most recently, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
has selected an important international issue as the theme for each
year's World Thinking Day, and selected a focus country from each of
their five world regions. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts use these as an
opportunity to study and appreciate other countries and cultures, and
equally increase awareness and sensitivity on global concerns. Donations
are collected for the Thinking Day Fund which supports projects to help
Girl Guides and Scouts around the world.
February 22 was chosen as it was the birthday of Scouting and Guiding founder Robert Baden-Powell and of Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and World Chief Guide. Other Scouts celebrate it as B.-P. Day or Founders' Day.
