Celebrate World Thinking Day

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 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 . And while the holiday itself comes in February , Girl Scouts have the opportunity to earn the World Thinking Day Award at any time of year .
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts ( WAGGGS ), which all Girl Scouts are part of , has celebrated World Thinking Day since 1926 .
Observed by 10 million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts worldwide , World Thinking Day has a different theme each year . In 2022 , the theme is “ Our World : Our Equal Future : The Environment and Gender Equality .” To earn the World Thinking Day Award , Girl Scouts will explore how girls and women are disproportionately affected by climate change and participate in the Girl Scout Tree Promise . Girl Scouts of the USA offers activity guides to get involved and learn about how Girl Scouts can make a difference in the world .
