Geocache Description:


This is a mystery cache, and as such will not be found at the posted coordinates.

Our Chalet was the first WAGGGS World Centre. It was officially opened in 1932 by Olave Baiden Powell (World Chief Guide), and Ms.Helen Storrow. During World War 2, Our Chalet was closed to regular guests, but helped to reunite refugees arriving in Switzerland with family and friends through Girl Guiding networks across the globe. After the war was over Our Chalet reopened and continued to empower women and girls. To this day Our Chalet holds many seminars to educate guides on international issues.
