On December 21, 2018 The Belize Scout Endowment Foundation handed over a check of $6,000.00 to The Scout Association to support their ongoing programs and needs.

$1,500.00 went towards the repairs of the windmill that pumps water to overhead water tanks that then gravity feed the entire camp with water.

$1,168.44 was used to buy a heavy duty weed cutter to maintain and keep the camping sites clean and safe.

$515.50 was used to insure and license the Scout vehicle

$1,661.51 went towards subsidizing the Christmas Scouts Color Festival Mini Camp held at Camp Oakley.

The balance of $1,154.55 was used for other needs like radio license, severance payables, fuel for vehicle and repairs to building.

The Foundation is pleased it was able to assist the Association with this grant to enable them to function effectively.

 

 

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.
