This cache is one of four caches developed by Cadette Girl Scouts in Troops 31083/33161 as part of their Hi Tech Hide & Seek Interest Project.
Each year on February 22nd, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world celebrate World Thinking Day. Girls participate in activities, games and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries.
World Thinking Day was first created in 1926 at the fourth Girl Guide/Girl Scout International Conference, held at Girl Scouts of the USA’s Camp Edith Macy (now called Edith Macy Conference Center). Conference attendees decided that there should be a special day when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all around the world think of each other and give thanks and appreciation to their "sister" Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
The delegates chose February 22nd as the date for Thinking Day because it was the mutual birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and his wife Olave, who served as World Chief Guide.
In 1932, at the seventh World Conference, held in Poland, it was suggested by a Belgian delegate that since birthdays usually involve presents, girls could show their appreciation and friendship on Thinking Day not only by extending warm wishes to each other but also by offering a voluntary contribution to the World Association.
This is how the World Association’s Thinking Day Fund began. The fund helps offer Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting to more girls and young women worldwide.
