Thinking Day is a day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all around the world to remember that they're part of a worldwide organisation and to think of their sister Guides and Scouts in all the other countries. The WAGGGS page has all the history of it.
We tend to celebrate Thinking Day with an activity afternoon followed by a short time of reflection when we renew our promises and collect the Thinking Day pennies (money that generally goes to either the World Thinking Day fund or the Guide Friendship Fund to be distributed to units that are in need. This year was no exception. As an easy starting point, most of the activities were culled in some way or another from Adventure 100 (Yes, there is more to our Centenary than Adventure 100 but my enormous Centenary Adventure was to be one of the Everest 100 last year so my savings are pretty much wiped out, much as I'd love to go on the Tall Ships or go somewhere exotic again. Most of Dorset's big Centenary events haven't yet happened).
Leaving aside the sticky-sticky mess I got into while trying to create a race-track for marbles to run along (it's very easy to make play dough at home but it can get sticky if you try to bag it up before it's cool), about the only other thing I got involved with was contributing my Thinking Day pennies to the giant "100" shape.
