Guide & Scout Fair Information
Enclosed is the Scout Week 2008 program guide & Scout Fair
Information. This program is to serve as a guide as you develop
your program for the week but you are also encouraged to organize
and participate in as many of the activities planned for the week.
Scout Week is held every year
commemorating the birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, the Founder of the
Scout Movement. This year we are celebrating the week from February
17 - 24.
The theme for this year’s Scout Week is “Scouting - Values for
life”. Let us all make Scout Week a successful one.
Please also take note of the National Scout Fair scheduled for
Saturday February 23 & 24. This event will be held in the village
of San Narciso in the Corozal District and Scouts from all other
districts are invited to attend. An information sheet is attached
to assist you in planning your participation. You are, of course,
encouraged to prepare properly by planning your participation in

Scouts.
Looking forward to a fun and exciting Scout Week 2008 and weekend in
San Narciso with all of you and best wishes for a happy and
