In honor of World Thinking Day on February 22, the Nation’s Capital Archives and History Committee has created a display highlighting the four World Centres. (Since the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is located in London, “centre” is the official spelling.)
Many committee members have visited one or more of the centres and shared some of their souvenirs. (Alas, I haven’t been to any…yet!) Most of the items came from Sandra Alexander, a member of the Friends of Our Cabana, and Joan Paull, who was the WAGGGS liaison in Washington, DC, for many years.
Our display highlights four original pen and ink sketches of the World Centers. They are signed “Chris Bachofer,” but I’m afraid I don’t know the story behind them, or how they came to be part of our collection. (Please let me know if you do!)
For more on the World Centres, see their websites: Pax Lodge, Our Cabana, Our Chalet, Sangam.
