Irish Girl Guides’ 12,000 members are joining Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world tomorrow in promoting the second Millennium Development Goal – to achieve universal primary education. Girls from age 5 are taking part in activities on the theme “Education Opens Doors for all Girls and Boys”.
February 22nd is World Thinking Day,
the joint birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Girl Guide
movement, and of his wife Olave, Lady Baden-Powell, the World Chief
Guide. In 1932 this day became known as Thinking Day, a day on which
every Guide is encouraged to think of the 10 million
members of the movement in 145 countries around the world. Members are
also encouraged to take action to improve the lives of people overseas
as well as in their own communities.
