Our
celebration will be
on Sunday, February 21 at the PHV Elementary
School, from
2-5 pm. Set up will take place prior to 2 pm.
It is expected that all troops will help in the clean
up process after the event. If
we'll
pitch in, we can all get home sooner :)
First, your troop
needs to decide on a country to present. I would like
to suggest you pick one of the highlighted countries
from WAGGGS or GSUSA, but you can also choose any
other country that has scouting...Please email me with
your troop's choice. It will be a first come, first
serve basis...but please do not repeat a country that
was presented last year. This will keep our
celebration new and fresh! As troops reserve
countries I will notify all of you...
The theme from WAGGGS
this year is girls worldwide say “together we
can end
extreme poverty and hunger”.
They have chosen five
countries to highlight:
Haiti,
Georgia, Maldives, Sudan, and
Zimbabwe.
GSUSA has chosen these
five countries:
Germany,
Kuwait,
Peru,
The Philippines and
South Africa.
So please choose your
country and let me know, so we can put the passports
together! Have fun learning about your country, the
scouts there and the issues that they have related to
poverty. Check out the WAGGGS and GSUSA website for
Thinking Day help, and activities.
