World Thinking Day: History
In 1926, at the 4th World Conference, delegates agreed that 22 February would be known as a special day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts across the world. Let us look at it in detail!
The delegates of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from across the globe met in the USA for the 4th World Conference in 1926. Among several decisions, they agreed that there should be a special day that will be observed annually when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides across the globe think of each other and express their thanks and appreciation for the international Movement. The day was known as Thinking Day. 22 February was chosen as the date to celebrate Thinking Day because it was the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout Movement, and Olave Baden-Powell, who was World Chief Guide.
In 1932, that is six years later at the 7th World Conference in Bucze, Poland where delegates pointed out that a Birthday usually involves gifts, and so girls could show their appreciation by offering gifts to the International Movement by making donations on Thinking Day.
At the 30th World Conference in Dublin, Ireland in 1999 delegates across the world decided to change the name of the day from Thinking Day to World Thinking Day. In 1932, the fundraising aspect of the day started and is still an important funding mechanism for WAGGGS today.
