World Thinking Day 2011
World Thinking
Day 2011 was marked by a service at Westminster Abbey to remember
the founders of Guiding and Scouting, with parties from both
Girlguiding UK and The Scout Association in attendance.
The Evensong service, led by John Hall, the Dean of Westminster,
was dedicated to Girlguiding UK and The Scout Association. Wreaths
were then laid at the memorials of Robert Baden-Powell, founder of
Guiding and Scouting, and his wife, the former World Chief Guide
Olave Baden-Powell.
The Chief Guide representative, Nicola
Grinstead, led a delegation of 14 girls and young women from the
Westminster Division of the London and South East England Region
(LaSER) at the service.
World Thinking Day is celebrated each year
on 22 February, the birthdays of both the Lord and Lady
Baden-Powell.
