Place: Girl scout Program Center

This year, girls voted and selected Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Italy and Madagascar to represent the five regions of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) — Asia/Pacific, Western Hemisphere, Arab region, Europe, and Africa. World Thinking Day gives girls a chance to celebrate international friendships and also reminds us all that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community—one of 144 countries with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts organizations.
Troops that would like to sponsor a booth at the Thinking Day event should plan and prepare a booth highlighting a foreign country. Specify your country of choice when you register for a table/booth by calling the registration hotline at 800-594-5677 or 432-550-2688 ext 309. Troops should organize activities from the chosen country with a special focus on the importance of water native to that country. If you need to set up your booth early, you can do so on Friday, February 22, 2008. Please contact Sarena Sullivan at 432-934-1105 to set up a time that the building can be opened for you.
Ideas for booths surrounding the importance of water:
~ Spiritual connections
~Water contamination/suggestions for prevention
~ Why water is an essential part of life
~ How cultures view their relationship with water
~ Ways to conserve water
~ Ways to avoid polluting water
~ How water drains
~ Global weather in relation to water
~ More ideas and resources can be found on www.girlscouts.org
We will have door prizes and fun booths. Fun booth activities include the following:
