World Thinking Day and World Founder's Day

Today Girl Scouts and Girl Guides across 150 countries celebrate 'World Thinking Day'. It's a day of international friendship and a time to stand up for causes that could improve the lives of children around the globe. It’s also the day when Scouts celebrate 'World Founder’s Day', marking the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, (born in 1857), the founder of Scouting, and coincidentally also of his wife Olave Baden-Powell, founder of Guiding (born in 1889).
