The four World Centres

Our Chalet is one of four World Centres owned by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). The other centres are:

Pax Lodge 

Just 20 minutes from the heart of London, Pax Lodge is on the edge of one of the most popular and exciting capital cities in the world. The centre offers a convenient place to stay whilst exploring the city’s historical sights and is an international gathering place for WAGGGS members and non-members.

Our Cabaña 

The setting for Our Cabaña in Mexico is spectacular, with each building set in its own tropical garden, overlooking the city of Cuernavaca and surrounded by distant snow-capped volcanoes. Activities give a colourful experience of Mexican culture, food, language and arts and crafts, and include discussions of WAGGGS themes and current worldwide issues and helping a local community project.

Sangam 

Sangam offers a rich experience of Indian life within a safe, friendly multi-cultural environment. Activities include trying Indian foods, clothes, music, dance and crafts, learning about Indian traditions and religions, visiting Indian families, local temples and street markets and giving practical service to children and women in local community organizations.

A home away from home

The four World Centres are places for girls and young women from all around the world to meet, to have fun, to learn and to have new experiences. They are open to all members of WAGGGS and also to non-members, providing a ‘home away from home’ – a warm, comfortable, friendly place to stay where guests can feel part of a family of new and old friends.
