Making the world a better place is Girl Scout Law, so it’s no
surprise we have a holiday dedicated to doing just that. Each year on
February 22, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides across 150 countries
celebrate World Thinking Day. It’s a day of international friendship
and a time to stand up for causes that could improve the lives of
girls around the globe. This year’s theme is “Our World, Our Equal
Future: The Environment and Gender Equality”.
We are
diving into this topic deeper than ever with a unique three-part
program that will be spread across the entire month of February,
including an exciting opportunity for girls to share their art and
ideas with tens of thousands of other Girl Scouts!
•In
Early February, girls are invited to learn about trees, take the Girl
Scout Tree Promise, and explore their local forests.
•In
mid-February, girls will take their new environmental knowledge to
deep, girl-led discussions about the ways that women are
disproportionately affected by climate change—and how girls can lead
the way to a greener future.
•Then, in late February,
girls across the council are invited to create their own pieces of
art, personal reflections, and creative writing in response to the
issues they’ve explored all month. They can submit these pieces to us
to be included in a first-of-its-kind, girl-led magazine of literature
and art: Our Council, Our Voices. We’ll be sharing the publication
across our entire council-- because our girls deserve to be
heard!
Plus, each of these three parts has a signature
event to go along with it! Activity guides and event details will be
coming soon, so keep an eye on our website and social media. We will
be hosting a “World Thinking Day Town Hall” on January 17th to provide
more details and answer your questions.
The deadline for Our Council, Our Voices submissions is February
28th
