Updated October 2019

I know that it is still cookie season, but if you have read my blog you know that I am an organizer and a planner! One way to reduce your stress as a leader is to plan ahead, which is why you need to be thinking about World Thinking Day in three weeks. It will be here before you know it!

The theme for World Thinking Day 2019 is "Leadership".  In this blog post, I share a simple 5 step meeting plan that will work well with Daisy Scouts. 

You may also want to check out your local Council's website and see if there are any World Thinking Day events your troop can register for. This takes the pressure off of you for planning the celebration. Remember, if you decide to do a Council event, let the parents know and do not stress if only a handful of girls participate. It is their parents' choice to attend or not.

Many troops like to explore the culture of another country and create their World Thinking Day meeting and activities around that country. One way to springboard into this is with a good, age appropriate book.

Available on Amazon

There is a series of Ready to Read books that centers around a single country. You can pick one and then use the book as a base to launch your meeting.

Activities and Free Resources for Girl Scout World Thinking Day 2016

Updated November 2019

There are three official Girl Scout holidays, and the first one of the new year is next month, so it is time to start planning! World Thinking Day, which is celebrated every February 22nd, is when Girl Scouts from 146 countries around the world think of each other and promote the sisterhood of scouting. It involves doing a project of some kind, especially one that helps those who are living in poverty.

Each year there is a different theme. This year the theme is "Connect". 

If you are wondering how to incorporate World Thinking Day with your meeting plan, have no fear! The GSUSA has ideas for you!

Here is the GSUSA's World Thinking Day 2016's website. You will find what kinds of connections the movement wants girls to make. If you scroll to the bottom and click on the "Daisies, Brownies, Juniors" tab, there is a list of activities that your girls can do to earn this patch. (Which, by the way, you should order early as they tend to run out as the date approaches. Contact your local Council store to place your order.)

On the WAGGGs website, there is a downloadable activity packet for leaders. You can find it here.

World Thinking Day Stickers

Daisy leaders, you know as well as I do that children love stickers! As a teacher, it always amazes me how the power of a colorful, sticky piece of paper is something that will motivate youngsters to do what you want them to do and to achieve your desired results.

For this World Thinking Day, you Daisy Scouts would love to have a sticker to commemorate the occasion.  

This one is from Dazzle and it contains 20 stickers per sheet for the smaller stickers and there are 6 for the larger size. It is available in glossy or matte finishes.

Activities for World Thinking Day 2015

While you are knee deep in cookies and petals right now, one of the three major Girl Scout holidays is right around the corner and you need to start planning now for your February meeting!

What is World Thinking Day?

World Thinking Day is celebrated every year on February 22nd. Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world do activities from other countries to celebrate their sisterhood in scouting. Of course, if your meeting is not held on the exact day, you can still celebrate!  Plan you festivities on the meeting day closest to the date.

Each year a different theme is selected.  For World Thinking Day 2015, the theme is "We can create peace through partnerships."

Girls can easily understand the concept of helping others and cooperation.  Any child who has played on a team knows the importance of getting along and working together for a common goal.

Since you are leading young children, it can be a really simple thing for you to plan.  You can pick one country and have the girls look at pictures or girls from those countries dressed in their uniform (you can search for these on the internet).

You can then ask the girls what they know about this country.

More fun can involve:

Playing games from this country
Eating foods from this country
Doing a craft or a Girl Scout Swap from this country

No need to worry about where to find all these things!  Here is a list of resources for you from my other Girl Scout blog!
