President David Granger last weekend declared open the 14thCaribbean Cuboree in Guyana at the D’urban Park, noting that the Scout movement has been able to build linkages between the school, places of worship and home, thereby contributing to the development of the character of the young people involved, so that they become responsible citizens within their communities.

The Cuboree is an event held every two years for young Scouts, particularly between the ages of eight to 11 for six days and five nights during, the break from school between July and August. The President who addressed over 700 children participating in the event from across 14 countries in the region, said that the country was happy to welcome the various delegations, especially in the year of the Golden Jubilee.(Kaieteurnews.com/photo: kaieteurnews.com)…[+]
