The Belize Scout Foundation – Investing is a better Belize

An activity organized by the 27th Cayo Santa Elena Jaguars Venture Scouts under the leadership of Ces Leader Flowers ⚜️ Excellent performance

Troop 27 Santa Elena Jaguar Scouts

During the weekend our Jaguar Ventures displayed our booth at the Victorious Nazarene Primary School Educational Expo 2023. Our venture scouts displayed an array of badges & scarfs that have been collected over time. We also taught visitors the basic knots & key principles that scouts live by. Visitors were also able to interact by attempting to tie the knots themselves. Visitors also partook in some chants a key component of Scouting. We’d like to thank the organizers & the school for inviting us out on this wonderful occasion which allowed us to spread the word on Scouting.
