In 1930, when she accepted the title of Chief Guide, she said, "'I will do my best to help everybody everywh- ere". In her more than 60 years of leadership in the two movements founded by her husband, she kept that promise. When she was asked to help, she did, whether it meant a trip of thousands of miles by air or a few miles by car; sometimes to the detriment of her health and in most cases, at her own expense. She served the youth of the world as she knew her husband would have wanted her to and was never happier than when she was surrounded by scouting and guiding people. Many people ask, "who was she?" She was born Olave St. Clair Soames (her father expected a boy, who was to have been called Olaf, thus the first name,,: on February 22, 1889, the youngest of the three children of Harold and Kathleen Soames. From her earliest days, she was a lover of the outdoors and many of her childhood hours were spent riding, rowing and walking, and in her later years, when the family moved to London, she became an accomplished skater. She had no formal education and was taught at home by a series of governesses and tutors. It was Harold Soames love of travel that eventually brought Olave and_ Robert Baden-Powell together. Whether you believe in fate or not, it is hard to disregard the cir- cumstances leading to the union of these two remarkable people, who could not have been better matched, despite the 32 years difference in their years. They were married on October 30, 1912 in St. Peter's Church, Parkstone, Poole, England and were to share 28 happy and worthwhile years together.
