Select a country

Request to represent a country

What do you need to do to prepare for this event?

Generally, each troop prepares a table display with a display board highlighting facts about the country selected. You can be as creative as you like but this board usually gives facts about Girl Scouts in the region, foods, historic landmarks, etc. Each scout will receive a passport upon check-in so when she visits each country, they will receive a stamp from that country.

Items to bring

For those troops who are representing a country, there are a few items that should be prepared.

A stamp that represents something from that country.

Something that represents a taste of your country (normally this is a food from your country, but does not have to be).

A SWAP to give out at your country’s table (a final number of attendees will be provided after the February 16 deadline.

Flags for borrowing

The Service Unit has a variety of country flags that can be borrowed for use during World Thinking Day. For more information, contact Theresa Crump.
