A New Way to Celebrate 100 Years of World Thinking Day!
To mark 100 years of World Thinking Day in 2026, we are introducing a new way to celebrate your support. Every donation of £5 and above (or equivalent in your currency) will receive a personalised digital certificate recognising you as a Supporter, Champion, or Friendship Hero. You can print your certificate, display it at your event, or share it digitally to celebrate your commitment to Our Friendship and the 100th anniversary of World Thinking Day.
Choose how you show your support:
- Supporter (£5 / €5.75 / US$6.50 / AUD$9.50)
Every donation makes a difference. If 100 people gave £5, this would raise £500 for the World Thinking Day Fund, helping to support girls and young women around the world. - Champion (£10 / €11.50 / US$13 / AUD$18)
If 100 people gave £10, this would raise £1,000, strengthening programmes that enable more girls to take part in World Thinking Day activities and leadership opportunities. - Friendship Hero (£50+ / €58+ / US$65+ / AUD$90+)
If 100 people gave £50, this would raise £5,000, providing vital support to Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting groups and WAGGGS projects worldwide, where it is needed most.
Celebrate Your Unit’s Impact
As always, every Girl Guide or Girl Scout unit or troop that donates will receive a personalised certificate to recognise their support for the World Thinking Day Fund. It is our way of saying thank you for helping girls and young women around the world thrive.
Your Impact
World Thinking Day is a moment to celebrate the impact that Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting has had on your life. It is a chance to appreciate the experiences that helped shape who you are today, and to help ensure that others can enjoy those same opportunities in the future. By supporting the World Thinking Day Fund, you are helping more girls feel connected to the Movement and benefit from everything it offers.
As we look ahead to World Thinking Day 2026 and you begin meeting with your units, troops and friends, we kindly ask you to continue your support for the Fund. Your contributions help WAGGGS deliver essential programmes, training and leadership opportunities, so girls everywhere can become the leaders our world needs and help create an equal future.
Where have your donations made a difference?
For our Movement to truly help create an equal world where all girls can thrive, we must continue growing as a girl-led Movement. Thanks to your generosity, the World Thinking Day Fund has supported WAGGGS’ strategic goals in many meaningful ways. Your donations have helped expand our work across four key areas:
Thriving Member Organisations, Thriving Movement
Your support has enabled WAGGGS to develop new resources and train capacity-building volunteers who, in turn, empower their Member Organisations around the world.
International Connections and Global Community
Because of your continued contributions, the Campfire platform was created, helping girls and volunteers connect, learn and share across borders.
Quality Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting
You helped sustain our World Centres through their most challenging times, and your commitment means they are now able to grow and thrive once again.
Leadership and Voice
Your generosity has allowed WAGGGS to plan and prepare leadership experiences like the Juliette Low Seminar and the Helen Storrow Seminar, ensuring more young women can develop the confidence and skills to lead change.
There are a million of us. I am not good at arithmetic and I will not make any calculations which may not come true. But a penny, or two cents, or four annas or enough centimes or groschen or Heller or Filler or ore to make the same value, is not an immense amount, especially when it is perhaps saved or earned and given with a willing hand.
