Click on image to enlarge

I will need a parent volunteer to attend the council event for us with the girls as I will be out of town.
This is a neat event where different girls in our area make displays about different countries in honor of thinking day.


Thinking Day, February 22^nd, is the day we celebrate the international sisterhood of Girl Scouting. By being registered members of GSUSA all of us are entitled to wear the World Association Pin. This is the emblem of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). 




Some country stations might have clothing , others foods, music.  It is a very interesting night for the girls and a great way to send some time with other troops.


Girls will receive a passport to mark their way around the countries.  Some countries will even be giving out S.W.A. P.S. so bring our hat~


Registration is required for this even and I will need to know how many girls are going &  money for those attending in a marked envelope with the permission slip, by February 14th meeting as well as the name of the adult volunteer.


If you can make it this is an event that is not to miss~


Yours in Scouting
Wendy Winkler
