THINKING DAY is celebrated every February 22 by all members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. February 22 is the birthday of both Lord and Lady Baden Powell. The 4th International Conference in 1926 designated this day each year so members around the world think of one another in love and friendship. In 1932, it was called Thinking Day with a collection of voluntary contributions to translate thoughts into action. This Thinking Day Fund was instituted to support international activities, relief work, development projects, programs, etc.
