The Pax Lodge

This morning my mother and made our journey to Pax Lodge. We enjoyed a yummy lunch of salad and baked potatoes with the volunteers there.  Once you reach the age of eighteen, you can go to the Logde as a volunteer where they offer you a room there to stay in free of charge while you volunteer there. This really sparked my interest and I hope that one day I can stay in the Lodge as a volunteer. In the dining room there is a world map. Herem girls who come from around the world can pin up patches they bring from their area. I put up a Sequoia Day Camp patch for the first year, a Kaleidoscope patch from 2008 and a Girl Scouts California Central Coast patch.

We watched a video about the history of scouting around the world and the history of Pax Lodge. Pax Lodge is actually the third world center London had seen. In the early 1930's Our Ark was established in London, but about 20 years later the world center was moved to to the Olave House and was later moved to the Pax Lodge in 1991. Read more about the history of the centers here.

We then toured the center, exploring it's many rooms.
Stay tuned for more as I look forward to spending the night there Sunday!
