World Thinking Day is coming up. We are not having a traditional world thinking day for the service unit this year. However, click the link below and it will send you to a list of activities that your scouts can do to earn the badge. It is fairly simple to just adjust something you already are planning and you have done some of the activities.
The theme for World Thinking Day 2012 is girls worldwide say "we can save our planet." This theme is based on United Nation's Millennium Development Goal 7 focused on environmental sustainability.
The World Thinking Day award is now an OFFICIAL Award and therefore it may be worn on the front of the Official Uniform sash or vest. To earn the award, girls complete one or more activities below.

What is it? Each year on February 22 (or around that day), girls participate in activities, games and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. This years theme is Empowering Girls.
In Edina, each troop chooses a country to represent and creates an information "booth" for other scouts to visit and learn about. There is food and entertainment provided by the older troop that is hosting the event.
