Each year on February 22, World Thinking Day, girls honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts by taking time to give thanks for their international friendships and remember that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community—one of nearly 150 countries that are members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).
This year's theme, girls' worldwide say "together we can save children's lives," gives girls a chance to take action on issues affecting children's lives in other countries. This theme is based on Millennium Development Goal 4, which is focused on reducing child mortality rates around the globe. During the months of February and March, Troop #3027 will be collecting donations of pennies to give to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This organizations supports cancer research.
