World Thinking Day symbol

According to this "New Zealand page". there is a Thinking Day symbol. Anyone know anything more and how it should be incorporated on this page? An interesting example of its use can be found at this Norwegian site: "Norwegian Boy Scout and Girl Guide Postal Stationery".--Erp 03:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

The WAGGGS World Thinking Day symbol was last used in 2005; newer Thinking Day badges by WAGGGS follow the corporate identity introduced in mid-2005.

Olave Baden-Powell

edit

She was born Olave Soames. She married Sir Robert B-P in 1912, and became Lady Robert B-P. In 1929 (after the photograph shown) he was created Lord Baden-Powell, but her title remained the same - strictly, Lady Robert B-P. After he died in 1941, she became the dowager, "Olave, Lady Baden-Powell" and her daughter-in-law Carine became "The Lady B-P", or, strictly, "Lady Peter B-P". However... in 1932 Olave was created a Dame in her own right, and thereafter was entitled to be called "Lady Olave Baden-Powell". Until that time, to have been called "Lady Olave" would have signified that she was the daughter of an earl or duke. To sum up - I have amended the caption to suit the fact that, at that time, she was "Lady B-P" or "The Lady B-P", NOT "Lady Olave B-P". RobinClay (talk) 21:21, 21 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
