February 22 is World Thinking Day!

February 22 is World Thinking Day!

Each year on February 22, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world celebrate World Thinking Day. Girl Guides of Canada Members use this day as an opportunity to participate in activities and projects with global themes, learn and take action on important issues facing girls around the world, and fundraise to support the Canadian World Friendship Fund.

The themes for World Thinking Day 2013 are "together we can save children's lives" and "every mother’s life and health is precious."

Birthdays In A Box

Birthdays In A Box

We made up 12 boxes with all the supplies needed for a birthday party. 

We donated these to Second Stage housing with Womens Community House.

Our boxes had:

cake mix

icing

foil pan

plates

cups

candles

napkins

cutlery

tablecloth

napkins

balloons

party hats

banners

and a few miscellaneous items added

We also provided alternate instructions for the cake mix.  Our favourite tried and true suggestion was to use one can of pop as the only ingredient added to the cake mix.

We tested vanilla cake mix with ginger ale - yummy!!

One of our Junior Leaders also tested chocolate cake mix with coke - she said it was yummy too!!

p.s. Parents - if you want a copy of any photo, please email the 64th Guides and we'll send it to you. For security, we will only send to the email address we have on file for you. :)
