World Thinking Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

February 22nd is World Thinking Day or just Thinking Day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world. It is a day to think about the meaning of Guiding and Scouting and about Scouts and Guides in all the countries of the world. Donations are collected for projects to help Guides and Scouts in other countries. February 22 was chosen as it was the birthday of Scouting founder Lord Baden-Powell and of Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and World Chief Guide.

On the nearest weekend to World Thinking Day, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from across the world come together on ScoutLink to chat with each other and celebrate their Founders.

Other Scouts celebrate it as B.-P. Day or Founders Day.
