37th Cayo Belmopan Phoenix Scout Group

Some of our cubs participated in National Cub Camp held at Julian Cho High School in Punta Gorda. The theme of the camp was

Maya experience. The cubs participated in a visit to Nim Li Punit ruin which is rich in history of ancient mayas in Belize. Our cubs also visited Living the Maya experience where they learnt how traditional maya live and the importance of being one with nature. They made chocolate from the cacao beans and tortilla from white corn. The Cub Scout Groups did a presentation of Mopan and Yucatec Maya. The kids played games and had a wonderful time.

A job well done to Cub commissioner Akela Nikisha Lima and Cub Director Lucia Cituk and all the support staff. BRAVO!!!

Thanks also to the Belize Scout Foundation for assisting us with funds for transportation to attend the camp

Troop 27 Santa Elena Jaguar Scouts

Library Visit in San Antonio

On July 11, 2024, the Santa Elena Jaguar Scouts visited the San Antonio Library to introduce to the children the spirit of scouting. We demonstrated how to setup a tent, supplies needed and techniques for fire starting, and various useful knots that the kids enjoyed learning. We also thought them about all that scouting is, the significance of what we do and showed them our scout uniform. Our venture scouts had a great time teaching and working with the children, the children also enjoyed playing games with us and learning about what scouting is.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Yadira Mesh for inviting us to the library. Her reaching out to us made this visit possible, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share our love for scouting with the younger generations. We are hopeful that this event will spark interest and lead to the formation of a scout group in San Antonio, continuing the legacy of scouting.
