Learn all about this exciting day to celebrate our global sisterhood and come together to take action.
Making the world a better place is Girl Scout Law, so it’s no surprise we have a holiday dedicated to doing just that. Each February 22, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides across 150 countries celebrate World Thinking Day. It’s a day of international friendship and a time to stand up for causes that could improve the lives of girls around the globe. And while the holiday itself comes in February, the World Thinking Day Award can be earned at any time of year.
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), which you—as a Girl Scout—are part of, has celebrated World Thinking Day since 1926.
Observed by 10 million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts worldwide, World Thinking Day has a different theme each year. In 2023, the theme is “Our World, Our Peaceful Future: The environment, peace, and security.” To earn your World Thinking Day Award, you will explore environmental problems and learn how you can work with nature to create a more peaceful and secure future for girls everywhere. Check out the activity guides below to get involved and learn about how you can make a difference in the world.

In this year’s pack this we will revisit the story of Miku, our main character from 2023, and the Changemakers from 2022, who will guide us through several discussion, active, and arts-based activities which look at our impact on the environment and the resources that we use. In doing so we will further develop our environmental knowledge and skills and creatively imagine a more sustainable world.
Pre-order the WTD 2024 ‘Miku’ badge and pin from the WAGGGS shop.
