World Thinking day - The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), which  we are part of, has celebrated World Thinking Day since 1926. Each February 22, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides across 150 countries celebrate World Thinking Day. It’s a day of international friendship and a time to stand up for causes that could improve the lives of girls around the globe. World Thinking Day has a different theme each year. In 2023, the theme is “Our World, Our Peaceful Future: The environment, peace, and security.”

What we do : Sign ups for  Country tables or Awards/Journey, Food pantry collection, Coins for Thinking day fund. Younger scouts(D,B,J) can sign up as tourists. Swaps/food samples are given at each table.

Run with Rotary/Montgomery FunFest at Skillman Park on Sunday, April 30th, and there are several volunteer opportunities that may be of interest and present various opportunities to the leaders:

1. Organizing and running the Montgomery Food Pantry table- this would involve promoting that we will be collecting for the food pantry at the FunFest event, manning the table the day of the event, collecting and sorting the donations, and delivering them to the food bank. 

2. Manning the water stations for the run- this would involve setting up the water stations the day of the run, handing out water to the participants as they go by, and then cleaning up the stations after the run is over. Rotary will provide the water and the cups.

3. Activities for the Children – we will be having several stations with crafts/activities/games located throughout the Funfest. This one is open to the imagination----if a troop is interested, they can propose a craft/game/activity and execute their vision on the day of the FunFest.

4. Registration table - Need High school girls, will be at the registration desk, checking in participants and giving out race day packets. 

Registration Desk - Need to be there 8 am, Activity tables - 9 am set up. Please email Kristie with any questions.
