Thinking Day 2012
Each year on February 22, World Thinking Day, girls participate in activities, games, and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries around the world. World Thinking Day not only gives girls a chance to celebrate international friendships, but is also a reminder that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community – one of nearly 150 countries with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
World Thinking Day is part of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) Global Action Theme based on the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals, which aim to improve the lives of the world’s poorest people. Girls and women of all ages in many countries do not have the same opportunities as men. They do not have the same access to education as boys and men. Women are underrepresented in the world’s governments and in the workforce, and earn far less than men.
The theme for World Thinking Day 2012 is girls worldwide say “we can save our planet.” This theme is based on the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goal 7 focused on environmental sustainability.
The World Thinking Day award activities are designed to complement the Girl Scout Leadership journeys and reinforce the Girl Scout Leadership Experience goals of: discovering oneself and one’s values; connecting via teamwork with other members and by reaching out to the local and global communities; and taking action to improve the world.
