Sleepovers and winter weekend camps based on international or World Centres themes are lots of fun. Sometimes the girls even go outdoors at midnight to greet Thinking Day with sparklers, candles or a campfire in the wintry, starlit night. They may have a joint service or celebration of thanksgiving for the lives of the Founder and the World Chief Guide, in which the youth Members renew their Promise, carry their flags and take on leadership roles in the service. Some Districts hold a winter games event with Scouts. Guiding in cities often put on displays and demonstrations of Guide activities in shopping malls.
Small communities put displays in store windows, libraries or other public places.
Everywhere, Guiding remembers its world-wide obligations through donations to the Canadian World Friendship Fund . Thinking Day is especially exciting when Units receive visits from girls who have been to international camps or one of the four World Centres. Girls enjoy non-Guiding guests from other other countries who tell about growing up in a different culture and bring items for them to see.
