Thinking Day

 

We will spend two meetings in February celebrating Thinking Day.
February 22nd, Thinking Day, is the day each year that we celebrate the diversity of scouts all across the world - where we celebrate the millions of sisters we share across all continents.
 

This year, we have changed the way we will learn about Thinking Day.
Instead of each girl presenting a country, each PATROL will present a country.
Following is a list of the countries we have chosen:

Dogwood Patrol will teach us about Australia
Morning Glory Patrol will teach us about Ireland
Red Roses will teach us about Egypt

Each Patrol is expected to be able to teach us the following:
 

Flag  
Location on a globe and on a map  
WAGGGS Motto - in native language and translated
Law - in native language and translated
Promise - in native language and translated
Levels
Uniforms - photos, draw, make
Culture Songs
Music
Games
Native Dress - examples
Buildings - materials and style - example
Language Count to 10

This year, we will go a little more in depth - learning more about fewer countries as we work on Thinking Day countries in our patrols.  Once again, we will conclude our Thinking Day Celebration with what will be our 5th Annual International Food Festival.
