History of World Thinking Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all began in 1926. That year, the Guide and Girl Scout organisations representing delegates belonging to a range of countries from all over the world met together at the 4th World Conference in the USA<\/a><\/strong>. Among other decisions, they concluded having a special day for the Girl Scouts and Girl Guides to think of each other and to share their respective appreciation for each other, including their international movement. The reason why the particular day of 22 February was decided was that it was the birthday of the founder of the Girl Scout and Guide movements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundraising aspect of the day came to the forefront 6 years later when in 1932 at the 7th World Conference it was suggested that similar to the connection between a birthday and a gift, this day should too involve the aspect of sharing a token of appreciation by donating to the international movement. The day has gone through many themes and celebrations throughout the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
