Diss District had a lovely afternoon celebrating friendship and 100 years of World Thinking Day this afternoon.

22/02/2026

Every year on 22 February, we celebrate World Thinking Day.

We’re part of a bigger movement - the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) - and World Thinking Day is a chance for us to connect with 10 million Girl Guides and Scouts across the globe. And to shout about the amazing things we do.

World Thinking Day has a different theme every year for all the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world to celebrate together. This years' theme for World Thinking Day is 'Our Friendship', and it's particularly special as it marks 100 years of World Thinking Day!

Thank you to all our volunteers in Diss for another year of keeping it turning 👏

🌟 Who keeps the world turning?

Not superheroes 🦸‍♀️. Not Santa’s elves 🎅. Not even the genius who invented Wi-Fi 📶.

It’s VOLUNTEERS 💙

👉 The ones who spend their evenings listening to “my hamster did the funniest thing today”… 27 times 🐹
👉 The ones who can tie 47 friendship knots in 3 minutes flat 🤝
👉 The ones who secretly Google the answers to the quiz they just set (we see you 👀)

We laugh 😆. We cry (mostly with laughter 😅). And sometimes, between the glitter ✨, giggles 🤭, and biscuits 🍪, we stop and realise:

🌸 We’re making a difference. One girl at a time 👧
🌸 We’re being the change we want to see in the world 🌍
🌸 We’re proving that change doesn’t have to be big – it just has to start 💫

Ever thought, “someone should do something”? That someone could be you 💪

Join Girlguiding 🎀💫

Because the world doesn’t change overnight ⏳
But it does change – one badge 🎖️, one smile 😄, one story 📖 at a time.

From Jan 26 Diss Guides are looking for an adult leader to help the current team carry on providing exciting activities for the girls.
Volunteering with Girlguiding isn’t just rewarding - it’s where friendships for life are made. Shared challenges, laughter, & purpose bring people together in a way that lasts far beyond guiding.

⭐️ The Things They Don’t Teach You in School 📚

💭 Ever watched your daughter walk into Girlguiding shy, quiet, and convinced she can’t even speak up in class…
…then watched her a few months later confidently leading a group of six people through a tent-building exercise in the rain — while giving motivational speeches about teamwork and biscuits? 🍪

Because same.

We sign them up for “fun activities and badges,” and somehow they come home with:
🔹 Leadership skills
🔹 Real confidence (the loud, proud, ‘I’ve-got-this’ kind)
🔹 Friends who cheer them on like it’s the Olympics
🔹 And an unexplainable passion for planning camp menus

Who knew “Girlguiding” secretly meant “raising future CEOs, explorers, and problem-solvers — but with more glitter and snacks”? ✨

If you’ve ever thought Girlguiding was just campfires and crafts… think again. It’s where girls find their voice (and occasionally lose a sock). 🧦🔥

👉 Tag a parent who needs to know it’s way more than badges.

💛 It was fantastic to see Sara Cox wearing a Brownie Sash and badges with pride after her amazing marathon challenge in aid of BBC Children in Need. She has raised over 9.5 million pounds!

She was met at the finish line by Brownies from Richmond and Barnard Castle in Yorkshire who presented her with the sash! We think she has definitely earned the Brownie Sportsperson badge.

💼✨ I Accidentally Applied for the Weirdest Job… ✨💼
And now I’m a Girlguiding volunteer. 😅

📝 The job ad (unofficially):
– Salary: £0
– Hours: “just a little each week” 🫠
– Uniform: Hi-vis, mud, and glitter in permanent places ✨
– Team: 14 small legends, 1 rogue stick insect, and a camp mascot named Olivia 🐛

🧃 Key responsibilities include:
– Nodding along like I understand Roblox conversations
– Crafting under extreme pressure (with no glue sticks and 4 minutes to go)
– Mediating passionate debates about whether jam or chocolate goes on s’mores first
– Saying “yes” to glitter and “no” to sanity

🔥 Real perks:
– Laughing until you cry at something that makes no logical sense
– Being declared “the best adult ever” for opening a juice box
– Becoming strangely proud of your badge-organising system
– That moment a shy kid high-fives you without being asked 🥹

💙 I thought I didn’t have time.
Now I’ve got purpose, three new campfire songs stuck in my head, and very strong opinions about felt-tip pens.

I get to be the person I needed when I was growing up.
I get to be ridiculous.
I get to matter.

💚 Think you don’t have time?
Maybe what you really need is something that makes time feel like it matters again…
That — and a gang of tiny humans who think you’re an absolute legend they’ll never forget.

Come join the glorious madness. Snacks provided.*
(*Assuming the kids haven’t already eaten them.)

✨ Say yes to chaos. Say no to boring. ✨
