Falls Church Girl Scouts Gather for World Thinking Day!

Girl Scout Cadette Troop 3014, from Service Unit 55-2 of the Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital hosted a very fun World Thinking Day event at Falls Church High School on Friday, February 27th. World Thinking Day is a day of friendship, advocacy and fundraising for 10 million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world that started back in 1926. Each troop chose a country, researched it and then shared what they learned. They represented their country by bringing food, swaps, a flag, and a display with all different details and fun facts! Many countries were represented this year: the Bahamas, Bolivia, France, Germany, Iraq, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Norway, Russia, and Sweden! To help participants seek out more information about different cultures and traditions, Troop 3014 put together scavenger hunts where the answers could be found in the troop displays. Over 300 girls came and had a lot of fun! All money raised was donated to local and international Girl Scout charities.
