“I would like to thank Marsh and Guy Carpenter for their support of the Scout Association of Bermuda,” said Geoffrey Rothwell, Chief Commissioner, Scout Association of Bermuda.

“In addition to a $2,000 donation, two employees, Nic L. Plianthos and Tim P. Smith, are valuable volunteers to the Scouts in Bermuda. Nic serves as our Treasurer and Tim heads the 19th Bermuda Cup Scout troop. We are grateful to them and to the companies for their help in growing our presence on the Island this year to involve more young people.”

Teen Haven provides counseling and a residential treatment programme for pregnant teens/teen mothers and at-risk women between the ages 16-25 years.
