SCOUTS IN ACTION! Did you know?

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!

Community Services in Action

It’s not impossible, our Belize Scouts could be involved in situations like this. Come on Scouts of Belize. When San Pedro has the big fire a few years ago, the Venture Scouts responded with enthusiasm to the cleanup efforts. This was coordinated by then Field Executive Claudia Groutsche. I will repost the item later today.

In the midst of this crisis, the #Scouts are one of the major humanitarian actors contributing extensively to the community in Lebanon!

Young people are helping residents who lost their homes save and remove their belongings, clean the incurred damages in their houses and on the streets, and give moral support to traumatized families still under shock. With shovels, gloves, and masks, they cleaned and gathered the shattered glasses, metallic and wood wreckage spread everywhere in order to send them for recycling. Others were distributing food to families.

What a tremendous Scout Movement we belong to! all the support of scouts all over the world makes really every single person here, whether a scout or volunteer feel hopefully that #Beirut can stand up again on its feet! 🇱🇧 Thank you !!
