On this journey, an emphasis is being placed on media literacy and creative expression and girls participate in a variety of arts, including performing, visual, culinary and new media, to tell their stories and take action to make the world a better place.

With World Thinking Day coming up on February 22, the girls are holding an event on February 12 detailing the five countries selected for this year’s Thinking Day: Bolivia, Cyprus, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal and Yemen. Each troop will bring a highlighted detail about one of the countries. It could be a food, a game, an activity, a flag or an interesting fact about that country. Each of the girls will then bring their homemade passports around to the various countries and have them stamped as they visit each country. World Thinking Day is a day when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the globe learn about each other and take action in their communities to help make the world a better place.
