Thinking Day 22nd February 2013

World Thinking Day 2013

• Is a very special day. It is the birthday of Lord and Lady Baden Powell who set up the Brownies and Scouts.

What do we do on Thinking Day?

• Brownies, Guides, Rainbows, Scouts, Beavers and Cubs have parties all over the world to celebrate.

• We think of all the other Brownies, Guides, Rainbows, Scouts etc, and they think of us.

• We think about what we can do to help poor people around the world.

Subject for 2013 to Think About

• Thinking about ways to help children and mums in poor countries around the world, to live longer and stay healthy.

What helps us keep healthy?

• We wash our hands so we don’t get sick.• We get jags so we don’t get serious illnesses.• We can visit the doctor when ill.• We have clean water to drink and wash in and

enough food to eat.• Children get the chance to go to school to get

an education.

But in some poor countries they don’t have all this!

• There is no clean water to wash hands or drink.• Not enough food.• No doctor to go to when ill.• No jags to stop serious illnesses.• No chance to go to free school to learn how to

read and write.
