Originally
called Our Ark
the second
World Center opened in 1939 and stayed opened throughout World War II with the
World Bureau next door. Our Ark went through growing pains
and moves during it's history and was renamed Olave House in
1963 in honor of the World Chief Guide, Lady Olave Baden-Powell. In 1990 the
World Center, having moved to a new location, was renamed the Pax
Lodge.
According to their web site, the
symbolism of the Pax Lodge recalls the name of Our
Ark in the shape of the dove on the water, the olive branch is for
peace and the trefoil is for international scope of the center.
