On Sunday 23^rd February more than 50 members of the Woodside and Hilton Rainbows and Brownies joined together to celebrate ‘World Thinking Day’ at Hillside Church. World Thinking Day is a celebration of 10 million girls worldwide that has taken place on every 22 February since 1926. It remains a day for all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to think of each other and celebrate their sisters all around the world. 

The girls all had a great day working together to complete a challenge badge while learning about the 5 World Centres based in India, Mexico, Ghana, Switzerland and London. Highlights of the day included making samosas, learning Bollywood dancing, preparing guacamole, crafting piñatas, creating African drums and having snowball fights! It was a very busy day packed full of activities before the girls joined together to remake their Rainbow or Brownie promise and have a campfire singsong together. It was a great opportunity for the girls in the Woodside and Hilton area to make new friends and join together to have fun!

We would like to thank Hillside Church for their hospitality and making us feels so welcome during the Church service in the morning and the Girlguiding volunteers who gave up their time to support this event.

If you are interested in finding out more about volunteering with Girlguiding or if your daughter aged 4-18 is interested in joining one of our units please get in touch with Heather Kirkwood (Hilton District Commissioner) on [email protected]
