February 22nd is almost here. Maybe you have already participated in an event. Maybe you have something special planned for Tuesday. What is it? What are you and/or your troop doing to celebrate World Thinking Day this year?
A Junior Troop in our Service Unit organized a World Thinking Day event that took place today for their leadership award. It opened with a flag ceremony and World Trefoil Ceremony. Girls had time to visit many stations learning about lots of different countries and Girl Scouts/Guides. It closed with another ceremony and a friendship circle. Each troop created a presentation board and prepared a snack & a SWAP. Some had games or dances too. The girls were each given a passport to collect stamps as they rotated through the stations.
My Brownie troop represented Korea this year. We had a presentation board with the Promises, Laws, Motto, and levels as well as pictures of actual Korean Girl Scouts. She displayed various foods that allowed for great conversation. We gave everyone a piece of candy from Korea. The girls made SWAPs that represented Tae-Kwon-Do belts. To represent the game of Tops in a Box, we played Beyblades. Our stamp for everyone's passport was the Korean flag.
The girls had so much fun, and we were exhausted!
To prepare for the event, we shared artifacts sent to us from my cousins in Korea. The girls tasted all kinds of different foods, looked at Girl Scout Korea brochures and pictures, and compared/contrasted Girl Scouts of the USA with Girl Scouts Korea.
