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.

In 1989 Betty Clay, daughter of Robert and Olave Baden Powell, unveiled the Foundation Stone for Pax Lodge.
