One World, One Beat

About 700 members of Girlguiding Dundee marked Girlguiding UK’s Centenary World Thinking Day with a high energy celebration at the  Whitehall Theatre.

The Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Senior Section, Leaders and Trefoil Guild gathered to mark one of the most significant dates in the Guiding calendar. World Thinking Day is an opportunity for the ten million Guides and Girl Scouts in 145 countries around the world to think about the diversity of the worldwide membership and show appreciation for each other’s lives. Across the UK many ‘One World One Beat’ performing arts festivals were staged  over the weekend as special events for this centenary year.

At the Whitehall on Sunday 21st February 2010, girls from different areas     of the city performed songs and dances to represent different countries. The acts included lively dances from Brazil, New Zealand and South Africa,   songs from Australia and Switzerland, colourful Bollywood and line dancing, and a graceful fan dance from Japan. The audience had come prepared with homemade flags, Maori sticks, castanets and maracas so that the whole theatre could join in with many of the acts. The acts were interspersed with campfire songs led by Alison Niven, the County Arts Advisor.

The celebration drew to a close with some ‘Thinking Day Thoughts’ from Sandra Ogilvie, County President, and renewal of the Guiding  Promise by all the girls and adults, led by Ann Gordon, County Commissioner.
