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.

On October 26, 2018 the Scout lot located on Regent Street immediately behind the Hilda Rosado Girl Guides Hut was cleaned with the assistance of inmates of the Kolbe Foundation.

This parcel of land was granted to The Scout Association of Belize as a grant in 1981 and since then it has been cleaned as frequently as possible but now with the Belize Scout Foundation taking on the challenge of building a home for the Scouts of Belize, it is foreseen that this is the last time the lot will be cleaned in this manner as plans are to fill the land and prepare it for the construction of the Scout building.

Thank you Kolbe Foundation and inmates for the great job done in cleaning the land for the Scouts.  It is now ready for filling.
