A KALEIDOSCOPE of colours filled the skies above the Enmore Community Centre Ground on Wednesday as Regional Division 4 ‘C’ hosted its 2026 Youth and Scout Groups Kite Flying Competition, bringing together dozens of young participants for a day of recreation, creativity, and community bonding.
The April 1 event attracted youth groups from across the division, transforming the venue into a lively hub of activity marked by laughter, cheers, and spirited but friendly competition.
Participants showcased not only their kite-flying skills, but also ingenuity and teamwork through a range of handcrafted designs.
Several groups distinguished themselves across multiple categories. The Mahaica Young Achievers Youth Group secured the award for Biggest Kite, while the Cane Grove Explorers Youth Group dominated several categories, including Smallest Kite, Highest Flying Kite, Most Patriotic Kite, and Best Young Male Flyer. The Vryheid’s Lust Youth Group captured both the Creative Kite Design and Most Colourful Kite awards, and the Buxton Young Achievers Youth Group was recognised for Best Handmade Kite. The Best Young Female Flyer title went to the Gender-Based Violence Youth Group.
Winners were presented with trophies, adding to the celebratory atmosphere and rewarding the participants’ effort and innovation.
Beyond the competition, the event served a broader purpose of fostering positive engagement among young people and strengthening relationships between the Guyana Police Force and the communities it serves. Organisers emphasised the importance of such initiatives in promoting constructive activities while preserving the long-standing cultural tradition of kite flying.
The day’s programme also featured a range of entertainment options, including a bounce house, face painting, and interactive kite-making sessions, ensuring continuous engagement for attendees.
Senior and junior police ranks, along with group leaders, were present throughout the event, contributing to what organisers described as a successful initiative aimed at youth development and community partnership.
