Sir Colville said the opening prayer asking for guidance for the work undertaken by the Scout Foundation and for blessings for every Belizean that they may be free from the Corona Virus COVID-19.

Reports were made which shows that the Foundation is managing its finances well.  Mr. Francis Woods, Building Sub-Committee Chairman reported that although we had a few days delay with the construction work on the Sir Colville N. Young Building, we are still on schedule to complete the building by the end of January 2021. 

After the meeting, Governor-General Sir Colville Young along with directors’ present, were given a short tour of the building under construction where Mr. Woods was able to physically show the impressive structure under construction and explained the next step in moving the construction forward.

The Belize Scout Foundation stands committed to serving the young people of Belize through the Scout program.

Did you know that in the month of June 2016, a fire devastated an area in San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye?

Baden Powell once said, ”  One of the chief duties of a Scout is to help those in distress in any possible way that he can”.

In this situation, Venture Scouts and Field Executive Claudia Groutsche headed to San Pedro Town to render assistance.  Tropic Air was more than happy to transport the Venture Scouts and Leader and Sun Breeze Hotel & Banana Beach Resort were also more than willing to provide accommodation because it was a worthy project, Boaz Golf Cart Rental provided ground transportation and the San Pedro Town Council provided all the meals during the cleanup exercise.

The Venture Scouts spent 5 days on the island cleaning debris from the fire and assisted in feeding those that were left homeless.

SCOUTS IN ACTION!
