The Scott’s Head Reunion and Enhancement Committee has formally constituted itself as an independent organization following the election of its executive board, marking a significant milestone for community development in Dominica. With leadership spanning four countries—the United Kingdom, United States, Virgin Islands, and Dominica—the committee embodies a transnational commitment to regional improvement.
President Jeff Bellot leads a geographically diverse team including Vice President Cheryl Adams, Secretary Deborah Destouches, Treasurer Celia Tavernier, and Public Relations Officer Ivan ‘Ivoo’ Nicholas. Additional key members comprise Michael Junny Nicholas, Joanne Bleau, Selwin John Lewis, Julius Brown, and Heather Nicholas Jervier.
Building upon what organizers describe as an exceptionally successful pilot reunion in June 2025, the committee is now preparing for a comprehensive Parish of St. Mark Reunion in 2027. This expanded event will incorporate communities across Soufriere, Scott’s Head, Gallion, and Petit Bagatelle through collaborative partnerships with all relevant stakeholders.
The committee’s immediate focus centers on an ambitious Christmas Village scheduled from December 20, 2025, through January 2, 2026. The program features extensive nightly holiday light displays from 6 PM to midnight, alongside traditional dominoes tournaments, bingo competitions, nostalgic Christmas games, family movie nights, and carol performances by local church choirs.
The festivities will culminate in a grand raffle on Christmas Day with premium prizes including smart televisions, kitchen appliances, professional tool sets, and gift vouchers. Children’s activities will include dedicated raffles, complimentary toys, snacks, and age-appropriate games accompanied by live music performances.
Proceeds from these events will directly fund critical community infrastructure projects. Priority initiatives include providing secure trash bins to every Scott’s Head household to combat littering and constructing public restroom facilities in the town center to serve both residents and visitors. The committee has additionally announced plans for a praise and worship gathering during Easter 2026.
The organization is actively seeking financial support from individuals and institutions committed to environmental preservation, aligning with Dominica’s identity as the ‘Nature Isle.’ Interested parties can connect with the committee through their official Facebook page ‘Scott’s Head’ to contribute or obtain further information about their comprehensive community enhancement programs.
