World Thinking Day 2008
Every year on February 22nd, Girl
Scouts and Girl Guides around the
world celebrate World Thinking Day.
On this day, girls gather to think
about their sister Girl Scout and
Girl Guides and to celebrate
diversity and international
understanding. The day often
includes activities with food,
native dress, songs, and games from
countries outside our own. Here are
a few pictures from World Thinking
Day events around our council!

Techno Girl 2008
On Saturday, January 26, nearly 1200
Girl Scouts and leaders took over
the Virginia Air and Space Museum,
located in Hampton, Virginia, for a
night of learning and
experimentation at Techno Girl
2008. The event was sponsored by
the Girl Scout Council of Colonial
Coast, a United Way agency that
serves almost 16,500 girls in
southeastern Virginia and
northeastern North Carolina. Girls
conducted experiments to learn about
composting, crystallization and
electricity, learned about light,
engineering, and how planes fly, and
had the rare opportunity to meet a
female NASA scientist who taught
them about gravity through a
hands-on activity, and Jennifer
Boykin, Vice President of Process
Excellence at Northrop Grumman.
Ahjzah D & Victoria C of Troop #1146
show off their handmade magnifying
glass pins that they used to take a
close look at crystals.
