World Organization of the Scout Movement – WOSM

⚜ Scouts, it’s never been more urgent to help the environment, and we’re here to support young people in creating change. One action we take every year is joining Earth Hour. Let’s switch off together and use this time to speak with our friends & family about how we can #Connect2Earth and take better care of our planet.

What is Earth Hour?

Earth Hour is the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment. It engages millions of people around the world to take action for positive environmental impact. It starts with a symbolic way to show support for our planet by switching off our lights, but Earth Hour goes far beyond that. It’s an opportunity for you to start changing the planet for the better, and for all of us to work together to protect and restore nature.

On 27 March from 8:30 PM in your local time zone, it’s time to switch off and #Connect2Earth

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.
