Photos & Videos: Girl Guides Thinking Day
Under cold blustery conditions, Bermuda’s Girl Guides, Brownies, Guides and Rangers held their annual Thinking Day service yesterday afternoon [Feb 20]. The original plans to march from City Hall to the Anglican Cathedral, followed by a March Past and Salute to Lady Gozney at the Flag Pole on Front Street were cancelled due to the inclement weather.
February 22 is World Thinking Day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world. It is a day to think about the meaning of Guiding and Scouting and about Scouts and Guides in all the countries of the world. February 22 was chosen as it was the birthday of Scouting founder Robert Baden-Powell and of Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and World Chief Guide.
Girlscout.org says: “Thinking Day was first created in 1926 at the fourth Girl Guide/Girl Scout International Conference held at Girl Scouts of the USA’s Camp Edith Macy (now called Edith Macy Conference Center). Conference attendees decided that there should be a special day for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from around the world to “think” of each other and give thanks and appreciation to their “sister” Girl Scouts.
