World Thinking Day 2019
Girl Scouts Building bridges, locally, Globally Every Girl Scout is a part of a special group of girls that stretches not just across the United States, but around the world.

With advances in technology, our world is getting smaller, making global awareness more important than ever. Girl Scouts were challenged to be part of something big and to make a true impact as citizens of the world. Girls united to take action through Global Action Days, World Thinking Day,
