Hi Guides! These are the various criterias for the World thinking day 2016 competition. There is a form sent to your AHS email regarding which competition you would like to join. Please fill it in and by Friday 2359. If you have any questions, please contact Jasmine ma'am @ 81232346.

World Thinking Day 2016 theme is “Connect”

· Connect with me:

If we take the time to connect with ourselves and understand what makes us happy and confident, we can make a bigger difference in other people’s lives.

· Connect with friends:

Connection is friendship and friendship is happiness. So what makes a good friend? Connect with someone you care about, introduce a friend to Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, and explore the relationships that matter to you.

· Connect with WAGGGS:

Look wider and connect with the amazing world of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting. Feel like one in ten million, learn about our global Movement and visit a WAGGGS World Centre!

· Connect with the world:

Look wider still and see how you can make a difference in the places you care about. Go outdoors and get active, get to know your community or a place in nature, and learn something about the world around you.
