The multipurpose room at Union Lutheran Church, Neffs, was the scene for this year’s Girl Scout World Thinking Day on Feb. 22.
This year’s theme was “Our Story: Reflecting the Symbolism and Values of Our Movement.”
The Scouts, with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania, chose a theme including different countries from throughout the world.
Those countries included: Ireland, Finland, India, Italy, Korea, Brazil’s Carnival, Greece and Japan.
Each Troop in the Eastern Pennsylvania organization provided a poster display and narrators describing the unique feature of each country.
As always, the event opened with Posting of the Colors, the Pledge of Allegiance and the Girl Scout Oath.
Colleen Klepeis was the coordinator for the program.
Members of the Girl Scout Color Guard, Maggie, Sydney, Alexa, Juli and Olympia prepare to post the colors during Girl Scout World Thinking Day.
