World Thinking Day (WTD) - OPEN
World Thinking Day is a day of international friendship and has been celebrated annually by GSUSA on February 22nd, since 1926. It is a day when Girl Scouts around the world think about their sister Girl Scouts, the meaning of Girl Scouts/Guiding, and our Global impact. In Hillsborough, our Service Unit celebrates World Thinking Day with an annual event where Troops research country facts and culture, create a presentation about their country, learn about other countries, and participate in achieving the annual WTD patch.
Did you know we have dedicated display cases located at the Municipal Building just for Girl Scouts?! Interested girls or troops can reserve space to creatively display topics related to GS journeys, awards, service, outdoor, etc.
