World
Thinking Day Friends
Supplies:
1. flashlight
2. paper dolls of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from
other countries*
3. collection container with symbol of World
Association on it
4. girls should have their donations for the Juliette
Low World Friendship Fund ready (If a girl can not
afford to make a donation, give her a few coins from the
troop treasury to donate so she feels included.)
Procedure: Each girl chooses her own paper doll.
Girls stand in semi-circle. Lights are dimmed.
LEADER: Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.
Stretch out your hands
And bring in your sisters
From faraway lands
One by one, each Girl Scout steps to the center of the
semi-circle. Using the flashlight to illuminate the
doll, the girl says, "This is my Girl Scout/Girl Guide
friend from _____________ ." (She may add an interesting
fact learned about the country, uniform, insignia etc.)
The girl then stands her doll by the container and drops
in her donation to the Juliette Low World Friendship
Fund. Continue process for each girl.
LEADER: We light our lights to show we are thinking
of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides everywhere. Your coins
will help more girls become members of the organization
and send our sisterhood around the world. Let us say our
Girl Scout Promise together and think of all the other
girls in many nations saying their Promise and thinking
of us this day.
Everyone makes the Girl Scout sign and repeats the Girl
Scout Promise. Conclude with an appropriate song such as
"It's a Small World."
