Lanyard and bracelet still available To earn a Thinking Day patch, troops choose a country and learn more about their culture, attire, language, food, festivals, or games,etc. (activity sheet is included in the kit to learn about the girls on the patch.) When attending a group Thinking Day event, all the troops join together and set up a booth representing their chosen countries. An adult stays at the booth to share a food, game, or paper activity to the troops to scouts that visit. Your troop will rotate around in timed intervals until they have explored to explore all booths. Sometimes you have a passport that gets stamped in each country booth. You may also receive a SWAP. This is a small token representing your country, attached to a safety pin to given to each visitor to your booth. In return you will collect a SWAP from each booth. Wearing a costume is not mandatory, but it will enhance the experience of visitors to your country. It can be fun to create or borrow traditional clothing or wear something as simple as matching hats, hand-decorated T-shirts, or cloth symbolizing your colors. As Thinking Day begins the girls will be able to view the various costumes from other countries. Thinking Day is a unique opportunity to learn and understand more about people around the world, uniting all cultures in friendship.
