US VIRGIN ISLANDS WELCOME SCOUTS
by Angus Ledgerwood/LMGI
The US Virgin Islands consist
of dozens of islands, with
St. John, St. Thomas and St.
Croix considered the main
large islands in the territory.
Charlotte Amalie, the
territory's capital, is situated
on St. Thomas. The islands
were purchased from the
Kingdom of Denmark in 1917.
During the seven days, the
LMGI delegation traveled
between Charlotte Amalie
to Christiansted and
Frederiksted, in St. Croix, and
Cruz Bay, in St. John. These
were considered the tour's
most impactful locations.
"The three islands each have
their qualities and unique
features. St. Thomas is the
most developed and the hub
of the three islands. St. John
is only accessible by ferryboat
In November 2023, a delegation of LMGI
members ventured to the US Virgin
Islands (USVI) for a seven-day island
exploration tour hosted by the US Virgin
Islands Department of Tourism. Miguel
Tapia (Los Angeles), John Latenser
(Atlanta), Stuart Berberich (Chicago),
Eddy Collyns (New York) and Aaron
Hurvitz (New York) attended the tour.
