World Thinking Day is an international observance that is celebrated annually on February 22nd by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. The day is a time for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from around the world to come together and celebrate their shared values, while also raising awareness about global issues that affect girls and young women.
Each year, a theme is chosen that focuses on a particular issue or challenge facing the world, such as climate change, poverty, or access to education. Girls and young women are encouraged to learn about the theme and take action in their own communities to address the issue. The theme for 2023 is “Take Action for the Environment”, which focuses on the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability. It is a day that is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of thinking globally and acting locally, and encouraging girls and young women to take action on issues that affect their communities and the world at large.
World Thinking Day was first celebrated in 1926, and it was originally known as “Thinking Day.” It was created by the Girl Scouts and the Girl Guides as a way to honor the shared birthdays of the founders of both organizations, Lord and Lady Baden-Powell. The day was later renamed “World Thinking Day” in 1999 to reflect its global reach and impact.
On World Thinking Day, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from around the world come together to celebrate their shared values and commitment to making the world a better place.
