World Thinking Day - 22 February


World Thinking Day, is celebrated annually on 22 February 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 meaning of "Guiding", and its global impact.

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.

22 February was chosen by the organization to commemorate  the birthday of Scouting and Guiding founder Robert Baden-Powell and of Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and World Chief Guide with a valuable activity.

This World Thinking Day, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides will explore and celebrate the connections that make life happier.


The different kinds of connections to be celebrating are:


Connect with me: 

If we don’t take the time to connect with ourselves and understand what we need to be happy and confident, we won’t be able to make the difference we want to make in other people’s lives.

Connect with friends: 

Connection is friendship and friendship is happiness. So what makes a good friend? Connect with someone you care about, make a new friend, and explore the relationships that matter to you.


Connect with the world: 

Look wider and see how you can make a difference in the places you care about. Get to know your community or a place in nature, then look wider still and connect with the amazing world of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting.


Connect, share, and celebrate! 


Share your WTD 2016 adventure and connect with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world.
