Creating a Better World

Personally Speaking viuh ckr

February is the border between winter and spring. If January is the month of change, February is the month of lasting change. January is for dreamers; February is for doers. In this month there is everything to hope for and nothing to regret.

You all are aware that we celebrate the joint Birthday of Lord & Lady Baden Powell on 22nd February every year as “Thinking Day” or “Founder’s Day” which is a regular feature of the Bharat Scouts and Guides Movement.“Thinking Day” is an important way for boys and girls to learn about the global action theme through fun activities in their communities. The theme for 2021 is ‘Peace building’ . Peace building is in the heart of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting and is as vital and relevant today as for the last 100 years. The delegates chose 22 February as the date for Thinking Day because it is the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout Movement, and Olave Baden-Powell, who was World Chief Guide. The efforts of boys and girls around the world raising money for World Thinking Day also provides an essential source of funding for the gigantic work of the World Association in support.

To celebrate the World Thinking Day on 22nd February 2021, Bharat Scouts and Guides will organise various events at NHQ, New Delhi such as Cub and Bulbul Golden Arrow Award Rally and Felicitation of Friend to Bharat Scouts and Guides for donations and contributions given to support the Movement. Along with presenting COVID-19 related awards for exemplary and meritorious services rendered by the scouts and guides all across the country out of which three states stood out of the rest showcasing extreme dedication and enthusiasm to help the needy and destitute during the toughest time ever seen by the whole world altogether. The states which bagged first three positions are Rajasthan at first, Uttar Pradesh at second and Chhattisgarh being third, will be awarded by Bharat Scouts and Guides to reinforce such good practices and make the occasion a memorable one.This year also let us celebrate the Day with more Qjojh “khr ,oa clar ds chp dh lhek gSA ;fn tuojh ifjorZu dk eghuk gS rks Qjojh LFkk;h ifjorZu dk eghuk gSA tuojh LoIu ns[kus okyks ds fy, gS( Qjojh drkZvksa ds fy, gSA bl ekg esa vk”kk ds fy, lc dqN gS ,oa vQlksl ds fy, dqN ughaA

Creating a Better World

commitment and in a joyful manner. This day of thought, action, and sharing comes closer like every year.

International Women’s Day on 8th March, 2021. The global UN Women theme for International Women's Day, 2021 is “Women in Leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world”. This theme celebrates the tremendous efforts of women and girls around the world in shaping a more equal future.

A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change, so let's all choose to challenge. We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality and seek to celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness against gender bias and take action for equality.

It is the moment every year which we dedicate to celebrating progress, raising awareness as well as showcasing our commitment to gender equality. It’s about shining a light on the women and girls who make up our movement and tell everyone that how amazing they all are.
