thinking day information:
Troops are invited to participate in multiple ways, including creating a country booth and performing.
Country Booths include a display of your country’s information and/or artifacts, a souvenir to distribute, and a food from your country to hand out to participants.
A fun part of World Thinking Day is the troop performances. Troops are encouraged to perform a skit, song, or dance that represents their country. Each performance should be limited to 1.5-2 minutes.
