Monday, February 22nd HAPPY THINKING DAY

It's a very exciting day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world.
It's Thinking Day! 

Tonight
Each Guide is asked to present something about their cultural background.
If you have a national costume or outfit it would be great if you want to wear it or show it to us. 
Each Guide will get to share a little bit about their background or if they don't want to share about their own family background they can choose a country they would like to present about (they should choose a country that has Guiding in it).

Have you found a blue light for Guiding?   
See the news story here -

Many of the landmarks that light up in BC will be participating!
I put up my lights in my window (see photo above) but your own tea light candle counts too.
BC Girl Guides has some other suggestions for you and I have included them as attachments.
