WORLD THINKING DAY 2009
This is a day in which Girl Scouts and Girl Guides in every country come together for a greater good. They learn about other countries and their traditions as well as focus on a theme. This year, the theme was AIDS, Malaria, and Other Diseases.
Our Troop celebrated this by learning about China. The girls made Chinese Lanterns and learned "Girl Scout" in Chinese. We discussed Malaria and demonstrated how this disease is spread. The girls played a game of "Mosquito Tag". The girls acted like mosquitoes. The only catch was some of these little mosquitoes had Malaria. If you were tagged by one of these, you got Malaria. It was fun for about a minute, because Alexis fell and hurt her knee. We are just grateful that it wasn't anything that a band aid couldn't fix. At the end of the meeting, the girls were given Chopsticks and a Chinese takeout box. Inside the box was a fortune cookie and the World Trefoil Pin.
Thanks to Wendy and Alexis for the snacks!
