Produced through the kind support of
ScoutsTT pays tribute to a highly respected man who has impacted the lives of many with whom he has crossed paths. In his capacity as an educator and as a true scout leader, he dedicated his life to the service of others, developing character in young people and doing his part in making the world a better place. Lal, as he was fondly known, got his start in scouting as a Cub Scout at the 1st Gasparillo Scout Group. He then moved onto 1st Naparima College Scouts, where he became Senior Patrol Leader. In 1966 he founded the 2nd Bonne Aventure Scout Troop in his home village of Bonne Aventure, where he was well-known as a community elder up until his passing.
He will always be remembered as a kindhearted gentleman, an exemplar who lived by his words, encouraging everyone to help someone be a better person every day. The Scout Association of Trinidad and Tobago extends our deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Lalman Nanan. May his soul rest in peace.
