World Thinking Badge

BADGE OPPORTUNITY

WANT TO EARN A "WORLD THINKING DAY 2012" BADGE?

The World Thinking Day award is now an OFFICIAL award and therefore it may be worn on the front of the Official Uniform sash/vest. Do one of the following to earn your award:

* Pick a country that you would like to visit some day. With an adult's help, learn what the country's national tree, flower, bird, and animal is. Then try to find some pictures showing nature in that country and ways people are working to protect their natural environment.

* Learn about an endangered species in your area. Where does it live? What does it eat? What animals eat it? What are its habits? Why is it threatened with extinction? What can we do to help? Draw a picture or
present a skit about what the enviroment would be like it that species goes extinct.

* Think of different ways to save water at your house and school. Draw a picture of them or make a list to display at your school, home or Girl Scout meeting place.

* Make creative "switch me off" reminder notes and stick them on the light switches, electric appliances and water taps in your house, school, or Girl Scout meeting place.

* Take a nature walk and try to remember all the things you see on the walk. What are their shapes, sizes, colors and textures (how do they feel?) Afterwards, share with your GS friends what you saw.
