Troop 50145 from Scotts Ridge Middle School hosted Daisy Troop 50842 from Scotland Elementary for an afternoon of international fun on March 14. Every year, Girl Scouts around the world celebrate International World Thinking Day, and this year’s theme was based on the United Nations Second Millennium Development Goal to achieve universal primary education. The Daisy Scouts learned about how different schools can be around the world and then explored Armenian culture. Armenia was one of five focus countries selected this year by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Activities included a craft, skit, food tastings, and learning about the people, customs, animals, and land formations of Armenia. The girls also supported the Thorn Tree project by purchasing bracelets that will help to pay school tuition for a student from a nomadic tribe in Africa.
