The Cayman Islands Scout Association is to finally have a place to call home.
A new lease, which comes with further long-term extension options, will allow the association to build its first local headquarters "giving all cubs, scouts and beavers a place to call their own," said the Scout's Chief Commissioner Orrett Connor.
The new building is to include storage space, offices, a shop and a meeting hall that they will share with sister organization, the Girl Guides, and also the Girls Brigade, said Mr. Connor.
"Helping the association to find a permanent home has definitely created a win-win situation," commented Deputy Premier and Minister of District Administration, Works, Lands and Agriculture Juliana O'Connor-Connolly. "The lease allows its members to build a center, which it will share with the community and other organizations."
Originating from the 1920s, the Scout Association is one of Cayman's oldest organizations of its kind and it presently has about 500 members. "We are best described as an educational movement that complements family and school life," added Mr Connor.
