OCTOBER 31
FEBRUARY 22
World Thinking Day was created in 1926 to celebrate the mutual birthdays of Girl Guide founder Robert, Lord Baden-Powell (1857-1941), and Olave, Lady Baden-Powell (1889-1977). In the United States, Girl Scouting grew out of a friendship between Juliette Gordon Low, Lord Baden-Powell, and his sister Agnes, who began Girl Guiding. World Thinking Day celebrates that friendship and the sisterhood of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the globe.
