Army general Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founding father of the Scout Movement and

first chief scout of the boy scouts association, organized the first scout camp on Brownsea

Island on Aug 1-8, 1907

On January 24, 1908, the Boy Scouts movement begins in England with the

publication of the first installment of Robert Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys

The Crystal Palace Rally was an historic gathering of Boy Scouts and unofficial "Girl Scouts" at the Crystal Palace in London on

Saturday, 4 September 1909. At the rally the girls were proclaiming to be Girl Scouts and

prompted the founder to include girls and young women into the Movement.

The Girl Guides movement was formally founded in 1910 by Baden-Powell and his sister

Agnes Baden-Powell. However even before the foundation of an association, groups of

Guides had already started to appear in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, New

Zealand, and South Africa.

In 1926, delegates at the 4th World Conference agreed that 22 February would be known as a special day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all

over the world. The delegates chose 22 February as the date for Thinking Day because it

was the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout Movement, and Olave

Baden-Powell, who was World Chief Guide

WAGGGS was formed at the 5th International Conference, Hungary in 1928. There 26 founding

members of WAGGGS were Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,

Hungary, Iceland, India, Japan, Latvia, Liberia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and

Northern Ireland, USA and Yugoslavia

TIMELINE CHALLENGE E.

The Movement continued to grow throughout the two World Wars and in 1931, WAGGGS

reached one million members.

On Jan 31, 1932 the first WAGGGS World Centre, Our Chalet, officially opened in

Switzerland by the first World Chief Guide, Olave Baden-Powell, and Mrs Helen Storrow

who financed the building the centre.

The second World Center opened on May 2, 1939 and stayed opened throughout World War II with the World Bureau next door. Our Ark as it was named served as a place to stay for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to stay while in London,

England.

Our Cabaña is the biggest of the World Centres and is located in the "City of Eternal Spring",

Cuernavaca, Mexico. It was opened by Olave Baden-Powell in July 1957.

Because the world of Guiding and Scouting had grown so much and so many member wanted

to visit Our Ark so on Jan 26, 1960 Olave House (Named for our World Chief Guide) officially

opened its doors.

The World Centre, Sangam, opens in Pune, India in Oct 16, 1966. The city of Pune, located in the

state of Maharashtra in India, was selected because of its temperate climate, rich cultural

history, strong tradition in education, and proximity to Bombay (now Mumbai).

Pax Lodge replaced Olave house on Sept 29, 1990. All of the rooms (except the Rose Room)

were sponsored by countries world regions, bricks, roof tiles and chairs were sold individually.

Each room is named after the country that sponsored it and all of the chairs have "name

tags" which refer to the person/group/country that donated the money for it.

In October 2015, the 'Fifth' World Centre was given its new name, Kusafiri World Centre. Kusafiri World Centre is using existing facilities to bring World Centre experiences to Africa. The ‘centre’ has no fixed site, but changes location for every event, creating international experiences for girls and young women in different countries in Africa

In 1932, at the 7th World Conference in Bucze, Poland, a Belgian delegate pointed out that a

birthday usually involves gifts. Olave Baden-Powell wrote a letter on Nov 1, 1932 to all Girl Guides and

Girl Scouts later that year to tell them about this idea and to ask them to spare a penny to help

support Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting around the world.

Pax Lodge’s Symbol

Name after our World Chief Guide. Was replaced with a new World Centre in 1985.

The symbol is a dove, because a dove is an international symbol of peace. It

is shaped like a barge on the water, which reminds us of the original London World Centre, “The Ark”.

The tree represents the worldwide movement. The roots are a symbol of friendship, which starts at Our

Cabaña and grows deep. The trunk shows the strength and continual growth of the movement. The

three branches represent each part of the Guiding Promise. The drop of water has two meanings: It is an

Aztec symbol of life and a pre-Hispanic symbol of communication.

What is Kusafiri World Centre? Kusafiri World Centre is using existing facilities to bring World Centre experiences to Africa. The ‘centre’ has no fixed site, but changes location for every event, creating international experiences for girls and young women in different countries in Africa.

KUSAFIRI

How did the idea for Kusafiri World Centre come about? Kusafiri World Centre is the product of years of discussion to bring a World Centre experience to Africa. In 2010, at the Africa Regional Conference, it was unanimously agreed that the Africa Committee would explore opportunities to deliver World Centre experiences in Africa. In July 2011, during the 34th World Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, a motion was passed to create an experimental two-year pilot project that could potentially lead to the creation of a 'Fifth' World Centre in the Africa Region. The project was evaluated, with results and recommendations presented at the 35th World Conference in Hong Kong in 2014. The conference voted unanimously for the following: The Fifth World Centre Pilot study has demonstrated the value of establishing a presence in Africa to host world centre international experiences in line with WAGGGS Vision 2020. In October 2015, the 'Fifth' World Centre was given its new name, Kusafiri World Centre. Kusafiri means 'to journey' in Swahili.

Pax Lodge is one of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts’ World Centres. The centre is ideally situated next door to the World Bureau, the International Headquarters of WAGGGS, in Hampstead, North London.

By 1978, plans were made to reconnect Olave House and the World Bureau as part of the Olave Centre Project. The Project snapped up a plot of land in the quiet suburb of Hampstead, a neighbourhood renowned for its artistic and literary connections. The World Bureau was officially opened on February 15, 1985. The Centre was renamed ‘Pax Lodge’ as a tribute to the Baden-Powells. The Latin word for peace, pax, was present in the names of their homes in England and Paxtu in Kenya. The name also highlights the importance of peace in the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting movement. Our foundation stone was unveiled in 1988 by The Honorable Mrs Betty Clay, Lord and Lady Baden-Powell’s daughter. Our doors were also donated by members of the Baden-Powell family, to symbolize that the doors of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting are open to all women and girls. On 15 March 1991, Her Royal Highness Princess Benedikte of Denmark officially opened Pax Lodge. Since opening, Pax Lodge has welcomed hundreds of thousands of guests, including day visitors from more than 65 countries. The centre has become a gathering place for girls and young women seeking international friendship, WAGGGS education and warm accommodation. As a World Centre, we aim to engage, empower, and support young women so that they can make a difference in their communities. We want to reach out to more girls and young women and continue to share our Movement with others. Everyone at Pax Lodge helps WAGGGS achieve its goals through programmes, events

and more.

The symbol for Pax Lodge is a dove, because a dove is an international symbol of peace. It is shaped like

a barge on the water, which reminds us of the original London World Centre, “The Ark”.

In 1929, WAGGGS' World Committee met in Holland and decided that a World Centre should be built for all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world to share...

This logo shows the main chalet, one of the original buildings

from Centre

Our Chalet History 1930-1970 Our Chalet, the first WAGGGS World Centre, established in 1932 in Adelboden, Switzerland, was formally opened by the first World Chief Guide, Olave Baden-Powell, and Mrs Helen Storrow. After an exciting first few years, the Centre’s role changed with the start of the Second World War. During these years, the Chalet was closed to regular guests, however it played an important role in helping to reunite refugees who had arrived in Switzerland with lost friends and family through Guiding and Scouting connections around the world. From this a shared spirit was formed and Our Chalet continued to be a place of international understanding and co-operation during a time when the world needed it most. Following the Victory in Europe Day and the re-opening of Our Chalet, guests began to return in numbers greater than ever before. The Juliette Low Seminars, international leadership development seminars that had been held annually at Our Chalet since its opening year, resumed in 1946 and were again held annually at the Chalet until 1968 when they began rotating around all four World Centers. 1970-1990 1968 was the start of another era of change at Our Chalet. The traditions of having ‘Friends of Our Chalet’ sessions, along with special weeks for Trefoil Guild members and their husbands were started, and by 1972, over 33,000 people had visited Our Chalet. The 1980’s also marked another significant landmark in Chalet history when it hosted the first Helen Storrow seminar in 1986, in memory of the founder. These seminars are still held today and focus on international education and awareness. 1990-present In 1990, the World Conference in Singapore gave permission for Our Chalet to build a new chalet-style house alongside the main house to provide extra guest accommodation, conference facilities and office space. The new building was officially opened in September 1999 and called ‘Spycher’, the name traditionally given in the Canton of Bern to a barn in which valuables are kept and equipment stored.

Our Ark By the 1930s, more than one million girls and young women had already joined the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting movement. Many people recognized that Guides and Scouts visiting London needed a place to stay, so in 1937 the World Board agreed that a new World Centre would be established next door to the World Bureau. Dame Katherine Furse, the first director of the World Bureau, spearheaded the World Centre project with a “Pennies Appeal” in her Thinking Day Letter. On 22 February, 1928, the pennies started pouring in and enough money was raised to purchase 11-13 Palace Street: Our Ark had finally set sail. Our Ark was officially opened on 2 May, 1939. Its doors remained open throughout the Second World War, when it served as a safe haven for international Guides and Scouts.

Olave House As the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting movement grew, so did the World Bureau and the World Centre. At the 1957 World conference in Brazil, WAGGGS decided to ask its members to help raise money for a newer, bigger home for the Bureau and the Centre. Canadian Girl Guides and American Girl Scouts contributed by sponsoring bricks, and English Girl Guides raised money for the garden. Our Ark sailed into a small Victorian hotel at Earl’s Court, but the World Bureau decided to establish its new headquarters in the former Boy Scouts International Bureau. During its Silver Jubilee ceremony in 1963, Our Ark was renamed “Olave House” in honor of Lady Olave Baden-Powell. Lady Baden-Powell herself presided over the ceremony.

Our Cabaña is one of WAGGGS' five World Centres and is located in the "City of Eternal Spring", Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Our Cabana's mascot is a donkey, named Amigo. The logo resembles that of the city of Cuernavaca, but has been given meaning specific to the Girl Guiding and Scouting movement. The central part of the logo is a three branch tree representing as a whole the worldwide movement of Guiding and Scouting, comprising more than 10 million members in WAGGGS member organizations. Each tree branch represents one part of the original three fold Guide promise. The red roots underneath the tree symbolize the solid foundation and continual life of WAGGGS and its members. The blue drop emerging from the side of the tree possess two meanings, communication between Our Cabaña and the local community and between Girl Guides and Scouts Worldwide as well as being an Aztec symbol of life used to demonstrate that life is flowing in the Girl Guiding and Scouting movement.

The Dream of a World Centre in the Western Hemisphere was conceived in 1946 during a training session in Cuba. The formal planning started six years later once the Eastern Hemisphere Committee and World Committee had given their approval. On Febuary 22, 1956 the dedication for Our Cabaña with the presence of Lady Baden-Powell was celebrated. It was on that day, that Lady Baden-Powell donated the iconic blue door that greets every Girl Guide and Girl Scout to Our Cabaña (The Chief’s Door) and welcomes them to the start of a wonderful adventure. Behind this door lies a place with beautiful gardens where friendships start and strengthen. Our Cabaña was officially open in July 1957. Since then we have received more than 70,000 Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from all over the world. The first participants attended a “Juliette Low” Event. It was during this event that the Our Cabaña song was written, using the melody of a Mexican traditional birthday song: Las Mañanitas. As time went by, more and more things were added to Our Cabaña: new dormitories; a conference room; a pool; a campfire circle; camping areas; volleyball and tennis courts, and even ramps to facilitate access to everyone. Right now Our Cabaña is designed to hold up to 108 guests, which makes it the biggest World Centre.

Sangam, WAGGGS' fourth World Centre, was first imagined at the 1956 WAGGGS International Commissioners’ meeting in New Delhi. The idea to build a World Centre in the Asia Pacific Region was proposed. A year later, at the World Conference, the decision to build the new Centre in India was finalised, thanks to the determination and hard work of Laxmi Mazumdar, the National Commissioner of India’s Bharat Scouts and Guides, and the state of Maharashtra’s generous donation of 7¾ acres of land to be used as the World Centre’s site. The city of Pune, located in the state of Maharashtra in India, was selected because of its temperate climate, rich cultural history, strong tradition in education, and proximity to Bombay (now Mumbai). In 1963, the building plans were approved at the World Conference in Denmark. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world raised over 50 per cent of the construction funds, and the foundation stone was laid in 1964.

The name Sangam was chosen for its meaning in the ancient language of Sanskrit:

'coming together'. The centre serves as a place for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world to come together to share their

experiences, as well as the culture and traditions of their homelands and Member

Organizations.

Sangalee the elephant is Sangam’s

mascot.

The Trefoil is the unifying symbol of

WAGGGS. Every part has a meaning:

The golden Trefoil on a bright blue

background represents the sun shining

over all the children of the world.

World Trefoil The Trefoil, used on the World Badge, is the unifying symbol of WAGGGS with every part of the design having its meaning.

World Flag

The Motto The Motto, 'Be Prepared', shares the Founder's initials and is a practical reminder of the educational purposes of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting.

The Thinking Day symbol was created in 1975. The World Trefoil forms the center and represents the World Association. The arrows pointing toward the trefoil represent action and direction. The design is circular and represents the World of Girl Guide/Girl Scout Movement.

World Thinking Day Fund: At the Seventh World Conference in Poland, a Belgian delegate suggested that the girls' appreciation and friendship should not only be shown by the exchange of wishes, but also through presents, which are after all typical of birthdays, in the form of a voluntary contribution to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. In her first letter about the World Thinking Day Fund Lady Olave Baden Powell asked the Girl and Girl Scouts to donate "just a penny," in order to support the Movement. The World Thinking Day Fund is used to help more girls and young women around the world by spreading the Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting programme.

The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts reaches 10 million girls and young women in 150 countries across our five regions Western Hemisphere. Africa. Arab. Europe. Asia Pacific.

World Conference Held every three years, the World Conferences are the key part of policy making for WAGGGS
