Pax Lodge
In 1989, the Hon. Betty Clay, daughter of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, unveiled the Foundation Stone for Pax Lodge. Pax Lodge opened its doors to visitors on the 1st August 1990, and on 29 September that year, members of the Baden-Powell family opened the Pax Lodge doors.
Another ceremony took place on 15 March 1991, with Her Royal Highness Princess Benedikte of Denmark officially declaring Pax Lodge open.
The name ‘Pax Lodge’ was chosen for historic and symbolic reasons. The Baden-Powell’s had family homes called ‘Pax Hill’, in Hampshire, England, and ‘Paxtu’ in Kenya. ‘Pax’ means ‘Peace’ in Latin, and ‘Lodge’ was chosen to retain a link with the original home on this site, ‘Rosslyn Lodge’, home of the 1st Earl of Rosslyn.
