| | BBC - h2g2 - Olave Baden-Powell |
 | | Olave's parents were against the marriage, feeling that Robert was far too old for their daughter, but Olave never wavered in her love and the couple were married in a quiet ceremony on 30 October, 1912, after Baden-Powell gained permission from Olave's father. |
 | | Olave was keen on various sports, including canoeing, skating, tennis, swimming and football, and also loved playing the violin, which provided stability for her as she moved house several times. |
 | | Olave and Robert had three children (Peter, Heather and Betty) and Olave also took over the care of her sister's children on Auriole's death in 1919, as Auriole's widower was overseas as part of his work. |
