Memorandum Of Understanding Between BSF and SAB

Memorandum of Understanding between the Belize Scout Foundation and The Scout Association of Belize
In late 2018 the Belize Scout Foundation agreed to construct a building for The Scout Association that they could call their home. Under the Chairmanship of Dr. Rene Villanueva, the Foundation took up the challenge with a zero balance in the building account. The Scout Association years earlier had started a building fund which had six thousand plus dollars which were handed over to the Foundation as seed money to start the building project.
Fast forward to early 2021 and the Sir Colville N. Young Building, home of Scouting in Belize was completed. The Foundation drafted a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Foundation and The Scout Association which upon acceptance and signing by both parties, the building would be GIFTED to The Association.
This MOU has been on the table for over a year and now, finally, it will be signed on Monday, June 13, 2022. Once signed, the Scout Association will become the owner of a building valued at over 1.5 million dollars raised by the Foundation through the generous grants received from the Baron Bliss Trust, the Government, and the People of the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the efforts and monetary contributions from Directors of the Foundation and other public and private donors.
