World Thinking Day 2012

We are a few weeks away from World Thinking Day 2012.  What do you have planned?

In the past, our troop has learned about Girl Scouting in a particular country, created a presentation board/table, and taken part in an event where troops moved from station to station learning about Girl Scouting around the world.  This year, we registered for an area wide event, so we covered the basics of World Thinking Day during our meeting.   Yesterday, we experienced the event.  There were stations, one for each decade, 1920s-1990s.  The girls enjoyed seeing clothes, toys, and other items from the time periods and collected a SWAP too.  There were also a few countries represented, so they created a craft or SWAP at each of those stations too. They made a paper lantern in the craft room, which gave us a little time to rest our feet and talk about what we had seen and learned.

While I was a little disappointed in the event, the girls had fun.

Tell us how your troop is celebrating World Thinking Day.
