World Thinking Day Event February 17th!!

Hello Everyone! :)

We have been very kindly invited to join the older Girl Scouts at Islands Elementary for their World Thinking Day Event! What is Thinking Day? Well,

"World Thinking Day (Formerly, Thinking Day)
February 22, the birthday of both Lady Baden-Powell, World Chief Guide, and her husband, Lord Baden-Powell, founder of Boy Scouts. First celebrated in 1927, the day was renamed at the 1999 Girl Guide/Girl Scout World Conference. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world use the day to think of each other and exchange greetings, and learn about other countries. Learn more in Global Girl Scouting: World Thinking Day.

World Thinking Day not only gives girls a chance to celebrate international friendships, but it 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."

Please join us! The girls will earn their World Trefoil pin at the event! RSVP to let me know we can expect you. :)

Here are the details:

Tuesday, Feb.17 at 6:15pm till 7:30pm
Islands Community Center

See you there! :)
