​Lexington Girl Scouts observed World Thinking Day, a tradition started in 1926 to celebrate Girl Scout friendships and think about the big issues affecting us and our global community. Junior Troop 83234 hosted an event at the Community Center complete with six activities related to World Thinking Day and this year’s theme, “Our World, Our Thriving Future: The Environment and Global Poverty.” They commemorated the long-standing history of this special day by embracing perspectives outside their own, memorializing their visions of a better future, singing a song that celebrates unity, diversity, and the interconnectedness of people around the globe, having fun while learning about composting and recycling, and becoming inspired by Wangari Maathai, an environmentalist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize who brought great change in her home country of Kenya.
