On February 22 all members of WAGGGS, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, celebrate "Thinking Day," the joint birthday of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell.  On that day we think about our sister Guides all over the world.

Robert Baden-Powell was born on February 22, 1857, in England.  He wrote a book called "Scouting for Boys," and later founded the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides.  Lord Baden-Powell asked his sister Agnes Baden-Powell to take charge of Girl Guides.

In 1912 Lord Baden-Powell married Olave St. Claire Soames.  She became involved in the Girl Guide movement and later became the World Chief Guide.  After her husband's death in 1941, Lady Baden-Powell continued to promote Guiding and Scouting.
