“Empowering New Leaders in Scouting”
On Saturday, May 24, 2025, leaders from across the nation converged at the Sir Colville N. Young Building in Belize City for an impactful training day.
Participating in an information course marks an important first step toward becoming an adult leader in Scouting. This course is essential for anyone aspiring to lead in the vibrant Scout groups within their communities.
The one-day training encompassed a variety of valuable sessions, including the history of Scouting (both locally and internationally), program structure, youth program development, capacity building, and a crucial segment titled “Safe from Harm.” This latter session is focused on fostering an environment where all members, especially children and young people, feel safe and supported at every moment.
Under the guidance of National Training Commissioner Lucia Cituk, along with a dedicated team of trainers, the course was well-structured to provide the knowledge and tools necessary for effective leadership in Scouting.
The Belize Scout Foundation commends the Scout Association for this significant initiative that strengthens the foundation of adult volunteers who lead and inspire Scout groups in their communities. With each training session, we are building a brighter future for our youth and ensuring a safe and enriching experience in Scouting.
