“International Youth Chef Jamboree”
The Belize Scout Foundation supported the 1st International Youth Chef Jamboree (IYCJ), which took place from October 30 to November 2, 2025.
This inaugural IYCJ was held in Tlaxcala, Mexico, organized by the State of Tlaxcala in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and an international steering committee of volunteers, including government representatives, culinary sector companies, youth groups, and Scouts.
The Jamboree brought together young and renowned chefs from around the globe, along with both Scouts and non-Scouts, for a range of activities. These activities are designed to provide a transformative experience for children, youth, and adults, using gastronomy to share identity, culture, and values, while also developing culinary skills among participants.
The International Steering Committee includes members from the Republic of China (Taiwan), Mexico, the United States, China, Malaysia, and Belize.
