Sir Colville N. Young Museum Inventory
The “Sir Colville N. Young Building” home of Scouting in Belize once completed and fully functional will be a major landmark in Belize City. You know why? Because the building will host the Sir Colville N. Young Museum where hundreds of personal gifts presented to Sir Colville during his tenure as Governor-General will be permanently displayed.
Today, March 16, 2021 was the start of the historical move towards establishing this museum with Museum Curator Ilona Smiling, Hilberto B. Riverol and Alejandro Tovar taking inventory and documenting each piece of memorabilia donated by Sir Colville for the museum.
More than 160 pieces of artwork gifted to Sir Colville were photographed by Alejandro Tovar and named and numbered by Ms. Smiling and Riverol.
The process will take some time to be completed but at the end of the day, a beautiful display of memorabilia will be made available to the public and tourist alike for viewing.
The Museum will be managed by the Belize Scout Foundation.
