PANGASINAN GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER "Mapalayopoy Ya Dagem" FEBRUARY - APRIL 2022 ISSUE
World Thinking Day 2022: Our World, Our Equal Future! by Cadet GS Gabrielle Nissi Abarquez As the world commenced the World Thinking Day 2022 with the theme, "Our World, Our Equal Future," Girl Scouts of GSP Pangasinan Council joined this annually celebrated international fellowship and clasped the opportunity to voice out the issues that affect the young women. It is as is that the Girls in Green of Pangasinan Council was able to bring interaction, peace, and connection to the world. To formally connect the Girls and Titas to the world, the Pangasinan Council prepared three activities that raised the awareness and concerns of the Girls Scouts regarding the world issues that are equally important to what we seek in the future. On February 22, the activity conducted was entitled "Explore," where the Girls can learn about each nation's culture, traditions, and symbolism that reminds us of what that country is. It is a great starting point for learning about the world - the commencement of world connection. After being one with the world, we seek awareness for inclusivity and equality that pave the way for the council to carry on the Day 2 activity called "Gender Equality," which supports the notion that anyone can do what others can, too. Finally, on the 3rd Day of celebrating #WTD2022, they were down to one last activity that concerns everyone and the world's one of the critical issues it faced - Environmental problems. "Take Action" exercise challenged the Girls in Green to go green and be climate advocates with their peers. With these activities, the results are more than just placements - it is awareness.
