Meeting # 3 of the Foundation Directors

The board of directors of the Belie Scout Foundation met on Saturday July 20, 2019 at the conference room, Equity House.

The meeting dealt with issues related to its sub-committees the main one being the amalgamation of the Building Investment Sub-Committee and the Finance Sub-Committee. This would enable the one sub-committee to coordinate more effectively the finances of the Foundation and the financing of the Sir Colville N. Young Building.

The Building Sub-Committee presented the amended plans for the Sir Colville N. Young Building, Home of Scouting in Belize and was endorsed by the board.  The total square footage of the building will be 4300 making the project more realistic and Mr. Edward Robateau would be contracted to do the architecture work.

An application submitted by the Scout Association for an expansion plan was presented by Dr. Villanueva and was agreed that Mr. Castillo, Mr. Riverol and Dr. Franklin meet with the President and national Scout Executive of the Scout Association to discuss the application in detail.
