On January 16, 2021, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Belize Scout Foundation (BSF), it was agreed that Sir Colville and Lady Young at the time of their demise be buried on the Scout property where the Sir Colville N. Young building is located. This was a request made by Sir Colville to the BSF and the Scout Association.

Work on the memorial commenced on June 29, 2021, and as work is ongoing, we are pleased to share some photos of work in progress.

The BSF supervises the memorial construction, which is expected to be completed by the end of July 2021.

Historical Facts about Scouting in Belize

First Girls in Scouting in Belize

On June 16, 1991, Chief Commissioner Reynaldo Guerrero and a team of other leaders from National Scout Headquarters paid an official visit to the 1st Corozal Scout Group under the then leadership of Group Scout Leader Cynthia Robateau.  Fred Orio was District Commissioner at that time.

The occasion was historic as for the first-time girls would be allowed to become members of The Scout Association of Belize and Chief Commissioner Guerrero was present to witness the occasion.

Upon arrival in Corozal, Chief Commissioner Guerrero inspected the guard of honor during which time he interacted verbally with some of the Scouts and Cub Scouts.

The Investiture ceremony followed and so it is that history was written.

It would be interesting to know the names of these girls and where they are now!
