Greetings from St. Stanislaus College Scout Group, located in Georgetown, Guyana. We have
3 sections in our Group: Cub Scout (7-11 yrs), Explorer Scouts (11- 15 yrs) and Venturer Scouts (15-19 yrs).
We do not have a website ..we hope to set up one this year.
Your website is simple but very informative. Kudos to all the Leaders and Young People in your Scout Troop.
Hope that we can establish a link between our Groups.
Yours in Scouting

Excellent site. Great to see a very active scout group. Best of luck to your patrols in 2008.

Dear brother scouts

I used to to be an A.T.S under Anton DeRoo at 1st Pinelands back in 1994-1999. I have since been over in Australia since 2001 and although the country is great the scouting system here is not the same - to say the least. Here in Australia Scouts goes from 11 years to 14 years of age, how is anyone supposed to master all the skills that scouting has to offer, especially the likes of major pioneering, backwoodsman,first-aid etc., in just three years? At the age of 14 they join venturers (something like rovers)and do community service and stuff like that, thats all good, but in order to create leaders for the future you need to be involved in the patrol system over a number of years - imagine having 13/14 year olds trying to teach all the scouting skills that they themselves are trying to master. I attended a number of meetings over here, but it didn't seem to have the same appeal, and so at present I am not involved in the movement I once thought I could not be without, I long to back in South Africa, not just to be back into 'home' Scouting, but to be home and back into seriously scouting!!!
Dear Scouts treasure what you have and that you maybe take for granted. South Africa, apart from the inspiration behind B.P's scouting system offers the true esscence of scouting and something I really miss - continue your scouting venture knowing that you are blessed to have what you have and next time you are out on an expedition or challenged with a seeminglly impossible task take the time to thank your Scouters and God for your truely real scouting experience.

Hey guys cool site=)

Great site! Glad to see a successful scouting unit. I'm the advisor of a venturing crew (14-21 males and females) who specialize in high adventure, amateur radio and emergency prepardness/medical training and activities.

We all enjoy the fellowship that international scouting gives. Hope to hear you on JOTA!
