February 22nd of each year is a filled with meaningful thoughts from Gil Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world. Today, we honor the joint birthdays of Lord Baden Powell, the Founder of Scouting, and Lady Olave Baden Powell, our World Chief Guide, whose lives of love and services we remember with gratitude. The work begun by them is now our privilege to enjoy and our responsibility to continue.

World Thinking Day 2011: UC-GSP, Floret Troop 405 in Cebu, Philippines

Today, 10 millions Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 144 countries from Austria to Austrialia, from Chad to Chile, is celebrating World Thinking Day in some special way: starting the day at the highest part in their locality to watch the sunrise;praying for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts ththroughout the world; by putting their thoughts into action and raising money for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts across the world.

On Thinking Day, distances shrink, age differences vanish, nationalities, cultures and needs blend, people stand united as kind thoughts, love and understanding circle the world. It is also a special time for our reaffirmation of the promise made and rededication to the challenges and task ahead. As the lines in our World Song go..."We must unite for what is right, to give to all both great and small all wecan give."

Thinking Day is not merely ritual; the idea is Thinking and Thinking should make us wan to take action. To them a good turn is an equally valuable gift. Thinking Day gifts take all forms: money, thoughts, actions. It is with sense of unying friendship among ourselves that we unite with those around us to thinkof those membersof the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts who are so far from us yet so close to us in our hearts. This is the moment to renew our efforts to strengthen our network of love, friendship and understanding to make this world a better and happier place to live in.

Thinking Day gives us a major opportunity to help each other through our voluntary efforts. It is for this reason that the Thinking Day Fund was conceived. Every centavo that we share will go a long way to support Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting programs all over the world. Our contributions will strenghten our existence as a World Association.

Wow! What a wonderful experience! It was very fun during our Investiture. I can now really feel the essence of being a senior girl scout. It was very fun having another unforgettable experience with friends and fellow Girl Scouts. We almost forget our lines because of the excitement of being invested, and the new activities and projects that we will face as senior and cadet scouts.

 All the parts of the program from the welcome address to the last part was interesting, we can really learn and discover new things. I knew all the ates’ are nervous in reciting the candidates for membership, but they did it! They made in the sake of scouting. Also for the other girls who gave their effort in the investiture.

All the girls took part in making the investiture possible. Without the hands working together, we can make all things possible. We are also making our heartfelt gratitude to our Tita Abcill, Tita Rose Jane and especially to our parents who really took part in the ceremony. To all the teachers and ates, thank you. I hope to enjoy more activities in being a SENIOR SCOUT.

For how many years that I have been joining the "Organization of Girl Scouting", the first thing I had surpassed was the "Investiture" one. I was invested as a "Star Scouts", as a "Junior Scouts", and just yesterday, I was invested as a "Senior Girl Scouts".

I consider "Investing" as one of the "sacraments" of the Girls Scouts just like one of the sacraments of God, which is the "Evangelizing" one. As what Tita Abcill said that this "Investiture Ceremony" is just like baptizing you as a true member of the Organization of Girl Scouts. That is why our parents should be there, in the ceremony, to witness the success of their daughters as true member of a Girl Scouts Organization, which they should be proud of.

Yesterday, when we had our Investiture Ceremony, even though some parts of the program were not organized well, we continue the program despite of some selected Girl Scouts who were not prepared and some were nervous to say their respective lines in the program.

In my seven years in scouting, I already had lot of experiences and I already attended lot of investiture ceremonies. However, in this year, I can say that it is more enjoyable and I had more experiences this year than the passing years that I have joined scouting.

I really enjoyed our investiture ceremony. Although during the ceremony there are lot of mistakes, I still enjoyed. After the ceremony, we ate our snacks and then we had a picture taking with my fellow scouters and titas.We had a picture taking with our respected parents. Although this investiture ceremony is not as perfect as the investiture ceremonies during my elementary, I can say that it is the most enjoyable one.

What is GSP Investiture?

This is one of the big moments in your Girl Scout life will be your investiture. This happens after you have satisfactorily completed the membership requirements.
