Each table had a piece of paper taped to the top with a question printed on it. (The answer was upside down.) Each girl got a passport with those questions in it, and when they got the question right, the table bearing the question would stamp their passport, or at the very least initial it.
At the beginning of the ceremony, a parade of flags was held. Each troop had to make a flag at least the size of a piece of postboard, copying their country's flag.
My troopmates were named Gabrielle, Sarah, and Staci. Staci and her mother (the troop leader) were unable to participate due to schedule demands, so I asked Gabrielle and Sarah for their help. I gathered the information, Gabrielle made the SWAPs, and Sarah made the flag. Neither of them showed up for the actual event, however. I was left alone at the table, with no troopmates and no leader. We also ran out of SWAPs fairly quickly.
Other than those small problems, the project went well. I hope to do it again next year. For more information on the country I represented, etc., see World Thinking Day 2001
