"Hey hey hey, it's Thinking Day... "
It's 22nd Feb... happy Thinking Day to all my fellow Guides and Scouts! Every year throughout the past 9 years of Guiding, I've renewed my Promise with a unit... but not this year (well actually, not last year either). It's tough to stay uninvolved in something that I've been doing for such a long period of my life, but it's difficult for me to be active with a local unit while here at Imperial. It's physically inconvenient, among other reasons.
But that aside, allow me to quote from WAGGGS' website:
This is a very special time as we celebrate 75 years since the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts began in the summer of 1928 at Parad in Hungary. The words of Robert Baden Powell, our founder on that occasion were
"My hope is to see the Girl Guide Movement become in the near future such a Movement for good that has never yet been seen in the world...You have before you the opportunity and responsibility of initiating a step of profound importance to the peace of the world later on".
His words are especially important in such times of turbulance and uncertainty in the world. 10 million members across all corners of the globe... I do believe that the Movement holds great potential to do influential things for the greater good of all.
May the Guiding Light continue to shine.
