What is World Thinking Day?

In 1926, Girl Guide and Girl Scout delegates from around the globe met in the USA for the 4th World Conference. Among other decisions, they agreed that there should be a special annual day when Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world think of each other and express their thanks and appreciation for our international Movement. This was called Thinking Day. The delegates chose 22 February as the date for Thinking Day because it was the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout Movement, and Olave Baden-Powell, who was World Chief Guide.

The World Thinking Day Fund

It all started in 1932 when Lady Olave Baden-Powell wrote a letter to all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts asking them to spare a penny to support Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting to grow. The idea is simple: one coin might not seem like a lot, but 10 million coins can grow our Movement and the potential of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world. The World Thinking Day Fund offers girls and Member Organisations life-changing opportunities to transform their community and their world.
