It is located Southeast of Mexico and north of Guatemala on the Caribbean Sea. Belize was formerly called British Honduras. The oldest records found to date in England indicates that Scouting in Belize started in 1911 with a census of two troops, twenty Scouts. The following year numbers were one troop, three Scouters and twenty-four Scouts, a total of twenty-seven, The Belize Branch of The Scout Association was officially registered in 1917 with a census of eight Scouters, one hundred thirteen Scouts and fifty-nine Cubs, a total membership of one hundred and eighty. However, according to a research undertaken by Hr. Leopold Flowers, former Executive Commissioner of the Belize Scout Association and Mr. William Faux, presently Deputy Chief Commissioner, Scouting in Belize was started in 1910 when one Mr, Henry Lonqsworth of St. John's Cathedral established a troop there. In 1987, Belize joined the World Organization (WOSM). In 1915, Robin 0. Phillips, an American Scout of about 17 years of age is said to have invested 20 young men as Scouts. This took place at Robin's home, then situated at the corner of Wilson Street and Barrack Road. When these Scouts were considered well trained, Robin's father approached Governor William Hart Bennett to seek assistance and support for the Scout Movement. Governor Bennett then selected Mr. George Grabbam, then manager of the Belize Estate and Produce Company Ltd. Mr. Grabham in turn appointed as Scout Masters to assist his Mr. Phillip Ely, one Mr. Wexham and Mr. Paul Shephard Berry, then the superintendent of the Belize Wireless Station. The movement flourished for about three to four years, then died when Mr. Grabham left Belize.

Details Belize, once part of the ancient Maya empire, has developed into a very popular tourism destination and cruise ship port-of-call. Formerly known as British Honduras - a British Crown colony - Belize became totally independent in 1993. Along its coastline, a lengthy group of coral islands form a barrier reef, second only in size to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Major attractions of the reef include Ambergris Caye, the Blue Hole, Half Moon Caye National Monument, the Turneffe Islands, and the hundreds of exquisite offshore scuba diving sites. In addition, the country is home to remnants of the Mayan culture, including the uniqueness of the Lamanai and Xunantunich sites. Belize bursts with wildlife of all description. Dense rainforests cover most of the country, while the sharp-edged peaks of the Maya Mountains dominate the south central landscape The climate is generally hot and humid, with seasonal rainfall heaviest, June through November.

Belize hosts protected areas of coral reef and tropical rainforests, alive with hundreds of bird species, colorful fish, exotic plants and animals. Added features of this nature lover's paradise are inland granite basins at the base of cascading falls whose waters flow through limestone caves en route from the Maya Mountains and tall swaying palm trees bordering sun-drenched beaches of offshore island cayes dotting the Caribbean. Joining these two "sides" of Belize are a network of rivers, giant Maya pyramids, caves strewn with Maya pottery, coastal towns and villages.

About Belize People History Politics Int'l Relations Economy Agriculture ... National Symbols The History Numerous ruins indicate that for hundreds of years Belize was heavily populated by the Maya Indians, whose relatively advanced civilization reached its height between A.D. 250 and 900. Eventually the civilization declined leaving behind small groups whose offspring still exist in Belize contributing positively to the culturally diverse population. In 1502, Columbus sailed through parts of the Caribbean, but did not actually visit the area later known as British Honduras. The first reference to European settlement in the colony was in 1638. These were later augmented by disbanded British soldiers and sailors after the capture of Jamaica from Spain in 1655. The settlement, whose main activity was logwood cutting (logwood was used in the past to produce dye), had a troubled history during the next 150 years. It was subjected to numerous attacks from neighbouring Spanish settlements (Spain claimed sovereignty over the entire New World except for regions in South America assigned to Portugal). It was not until 1763 that Spain in the Treaty of Paris allowed the British settlers to engage in the logwood industry. The Treaty of Versailles in 1783 reaffirmed those boundaries and logwood concession was extended by the Convention of London in 1786. But Spanish attacks continued until a decisive victory was won by settlers, with British naval support, in the Battle of St. George's Caye in 1798. After that, British control over the settlement gradually increased and in 1871 British Honduras was formally declared a British Colony.

HISTORY INDEX Country Ranks Introduction History ... [TOP] Belize DECOLONIZATION AND THE BORDER DISPUTE WITH GUATEMALA http://workmall.com/wfb2001/belize/belize_history_decolonization_and_the_border_dispute_with_guatemala.html Source: The Library of Congress Country Studies < BACK TO HISTORY CONTENTS The territorial dispute's origins lay in the eighteenth-century treaties in which Britain acceded to Spain's assertion of sovereignty while British settlers continued to occupy the sparsely settled and ill-defined area (see Colonial Rivalry Between Spain and Britain , this ch.). The 1786 Convention of London, which affirmed Spanish sovereignty was never renegotiated, but Spain never attempted to reclaim the area after 1798. Subsequent treaties between Britain and Spain failed to mention the British settlement. By the time Spain lost control of Mexico and Central America in 1821, Britain had extended its control over the area, albeit informally and unsystematically. By the 1830s, Britain regarded the entire territory between the Hondo River and Sarstoon River as British. The independent republics that emerged from the disintegrating Spanish Empire in the 1820s claimed that they had inherited Spain's sovereign rights in the area. Britain, however, never accepted such a doctrine. Based on this doctrine of inheritance, Mexico and Guatemala asserted claims to Belize. Mexico once claimed the portion of British Honduras north of the Sibun River but dropped the claim in a treaty with Britain in 1893. Since then, Mexico has stated that it would revive the claim only if Guatemala were successful in obtaining all or part of the nation. Still, Mexico was the first nation to recognize Belize as an independent country.

For More Info on HISTORY Belize.net Online Tour A History of Belize A Brief History of Belize A brief history of Belize can be divided in major four periods. Following is a very brief synopsis of these periods. You can view a complete timeline to Belizean History HERE Archaeologists estimate that at their peak, 1 to 2 million Mayans lived within the borders of present day Belize. Mighty Maya cities such as Caracol Xunantunich and Lamanai dotted the landscape, with small agricultural communities farming the land between. The Maya civilization is divided into the Pre-Classic (1000 B.C. to A.D. 300), the Classic (A.D. 300 to 900) when the civilization reached its height of development, and the Post-Classic (A.D. 1000 to 1500) when the civilization fell apart and disappeared. No one knows for certain what caused the disappearance of the Maya. Perhaps it was war, loss of faith, famine or a series of natural disasters. Christopher Columbus sailed along the coast of Central America in 1502, and named the bay which borders the southern part of the barrier reef Bay of Honduras. The first settlers in Belize were English Puritans, setting up trading post along the coast of Belize. Various bands of ship wrecked sailors, buccaneers and pirates established permanent bases in Belize, harrassing the Spanish galleons carrying gold, silver, and hardwoods from Central America to Europe. It wasn't long before logging became the dominant occupation.

More Information about: Belize History History of Belize History Books Territorial Issues Origin of the name "Caye Caulker" On early British maps the island's name is spelled "Cay Corker." Known historically for its plentiful supply of exposed fresh water at La Aguada, one theory holds that this island was a favourite stop for sailors to replenish and cork water bottles. The Spanish name of the island is Cayo Hicaco, which means "the island of the cocoplum." "Caye Caulker" could be an anglicized pronunciation of Cayo Hicaco. Another theory is that boats were caulked in the protected bay, La Ensenada, on the western side of the island leading to the "Caulker" name. Photo by James Beveridge A Very Brief History of Caye Caulker Recent history of Caye Caulker began when Mestizo refugees from the Mexican Caste Wars arrived. The caye was formally purchased by Luciano Reyes around 1870. Lots were sold to six or seven families, most of which still have descendants on the island today. The influence of these families is still very apparent. With few inhabitants, food could be grown with sustainable methods of agriculture. The coconut and the fishing industry became important economic staples of the island. Even today a few of the older women continue to process coconut oil for their own use and to sell, although generally the coconuts themselves are harvested and shipped to the mainland.
