International World Thinking Day
About World Thinking Day
When is World Thinking Day? This holiday is always celebrated on February 22
Today is World Thinking Day, a February 22 holiday. Just think about it! Today is a day to ponder and contemplate.
International World Thinking Day is celebrated by Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, and other girl groups. The original objective of this day was to set aside a day for girls all over the world to think of each other and to give thanks and appreciation to “sister” Girl Scouts and Girl Guides. Over the years, it has been expanded to include the opportunity for girls (young and less young) to learn about health issues that affect girls and young women.
You don’t have to be a Girl Scout or a Girl Guide to participate in this day. Rather, we encourage all females, young and old, to learn a little more about health issues today. If you are in a position to provide education and training on health issues, do so today. If you cannot conduct it today, then schedule it for some time in the near future.
Just ponder the word “think” for a moment. Thinking is a deep subject. It consumes a lot of brainpower. The word “think” has many meanings, including ponder, cogitate, consider, determine, conceive, and conclude. It also means to imagine, envisage, estimate, surmise, and reckon. Wow, I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
Did You Know? February 22 is the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell founder of the Boy Scouts, and his wife Lady Olave Baden-Powell. Lady Baden-Powell founded Girl Guides.
As you ponder the true meaning of this thoughtful day, we hope you leave plenty of time to celebrate International World Thinking Day.
