On Sunday, 19th February 2023, hundreds of Bim Bims, Brownie Guides, Girl Guides, Ranger Guides, Young Leaders and Guiders of the local Girl Guiding Association turned out to celebrate World Thinking Day under the theme “Our World, Our Peaceful Future: The Environment and Peace”.
World Thinking Day is a special day across the 152 Member Organisations and 10 million members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts(WAGGGS).
World Thinking Day is celebrated on February 22nd each year and is a day for international friendship since 1926. Every year on the 22nd of February, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts celebrate the Movement by connecting with each other and having fun together, learning about and taking action on the global issues that affect their local communities, and fundraising for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world.
Locally, the Girl Guides Association of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines hosted a celebratory parade from the Peace Memorial Hall to the Kingstown Methodist Church where a special ceremony then commenced.
This year’s ceremony featured Bim Bims, Brownie Guides, Girl Guides and Ranger Guides from the Windward and Leeward Divisions as well as the Kingstown and the Grenadines Division.
