When is World Thinking Day?
Wednesday February 22ndEvery year on February 22nd, Girl Scouts from around the world celebrate World Thinking Day. These girls gather together to address topics that concern young women.
The Girl Scouts' history goes back to 1912, dating back to 1912. Juliette Gordon Low of England met Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts, when Juliette Gordon Low met him in England. On Low's return to her Georgia home, she knew she had to start a similar group for girls. That same year, she brought 18 girls together and told them all she had learned about this new outdoor and educational youth program. At the time, "Daisy," as many affectionately described her, was 51 years old and nearly deaf.
The first small troop of Girl Scouts was culturally and ethnically diverse. This was a big deal considering that women were not even allowed to vote. These girls were involved in basketball, hiking, and camping. More importantly, the girls lent a helping hand to those in need. They also worked together to improve the world around them. Girl Scout numbers have thrived in over 100 countries since their humble beginnings. There are currently 2.6 million Girl Scouts and more than 50 million alumni.
Girl Scouts today are focusing on four key areas that make up their leadership experience. These include science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), Outdoors, Life Skills, and Entrepreneurship. Girl Scouts sell their popular cookies! It's in the field of entrepreneurship.
