Thinking Day has become a day for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all
over the world to think about one another. Each year on February 22,
girls participate in activities and projects with global themes to
honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. It
is a special day in the Girl Scout year when we remember we are part
of a worldwide movement through the World Association of Girl Guides
and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). Celebrated since 1926, World
Thinking Day is a day of international friendship, speaking out
on issues that affect girls and young women, and fundraising for 10
million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world.
What Do We Do on World Thinking Day?
- Be inspired by the history and impact of our global Movement.
- Connect with the worldwide sisterhood of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting.
- Take action and speak out on issues we most care about.
- Make a difference by fundraising for projects around the world.
World Thinking Day 2022 Theme
Our World, Our Equal Future
On International Day of the
Girl 2020, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts under 18 from 100 countries
were asked what issues they were most concerned about and what they
wanted to change about the world. From this data, WAGGGS learned that
the #1 worry is the environment. And so, the World Thinking Day theme
from 2022-2024 will be Our World, Our Equal Future. This year’s WTD
starts a three-year journey for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to become
environmentally conscious leaders.
