Thinking Day

Pima Neighborhood 
THINKING DAY 2015

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). 

February 22nd, 1:30-4:30 pm Mountain View Park Community Center
8625 E Mountain View Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258

Cost is $1 per girl and includes a patch and passport.

Each troop needs to pick a country and prepare (and decorate) a booth that includes information, a food, a craft, a SWAP, and a physical activity (game or song, generally) related to their country.  Girls will be issued passports to travel from booth to booth, so a stamp or sticker is needed to have to mark those passports.   Your country choice will be confirmed as soon as you turn in your registration form (sent via email).

The following countries have been claimed so far: Switzerland, New Zealand, Egypt, Spain, Greece, China, Canada, Japan, Italy, England, Holland, India, Russia, Mexico, Ireland, France, USA, Germany, Scotland, and Colombia.

Attendance count so far (check back for updates): 178


Vista del Camino Wrap Up

Leaders & Families,

Thank you for participating in the Vista del Camino holiday Adopt-a-Family program.  Pima and Indian Bend neighborhoods sponsored 55 children this year, ensuring 30 families have a very special holiday to remember.  Additionally, we are instilling in our girls the spirit of Girl Scouting, which is to make the world a better place.

May we continue to teach courage, confidence, and character, shaping tomorrow's leaders!
Happy Holly-days, :-)
Holly

To sign up, email Hayleigh (email provided at neighborhood meeting)

I have included the hours below, but since I know neighborhood meetings are short on time, I would assume you can just announce “from the 12th to the 24th.”

Thank you so much!
