On December 11, 2018 the first trucks of clay fill started rolling on the Scout lot on Albert Street, Belize City.

While the clay was being delivered, it was spread through the kind assistance of Cisco Construction Ltd.

It took fifty loads of fill to get the lot to the point where construction can begin.  This was made possible through the generosity of many individuals whose interest is to see our young people develop into responsible, contributing citizens in our society.  A hearty thanks to all the Directors of the Foundation that contributed financially towards this phase of the project, including Belize Ship Handlers and Mr. Francis Woods for donating machinery and personnel.

November 16, 2018 will be a landmark date for the construction of the Sir Colville N. Young Building as it  was the day that the first load of fill was delivered to the Scout lot.  This first phase of the project was aimed at preparing the driveway so that clay fill material could be dropped off at the back of the land to facilitate the spreading of the fill.  This was followed by many more loads of fill donated by Cisco Construction Ltd

Not only did Cisco Construction Ltd. donate the fill but also the machinery to spread the fill on the lot.

We at the Belize Scout Foundation are thankful and appreciative of the contribution of over $10,000.00 by Cisco Construction.  Thank you, Mr. Francis Woods, for your generosity.
