 Our Missions   
 
To contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.

Scouting’s Mission is achieved by:

  • involving youth throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process.
  • using a specific method that makes each individual the principal agent in his or her development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person.
  • assisting youth to establish a value system based upon spiritual, social and personal principles as expressed in the Promise and Law.

Scouting is based on three broad principles which represent its fundamental beliefs. These include:

Principles

  • Duty to God: Defined as, The responsibility to adhere to spiritual principles, and thus to the religion that expresses them, and to accept the duties therefore.
  • Duty to Others: Defined as, The responsibility to one's local, national and global community members to promote peace, understanding and cooperation, through
    participation in the development of society, respect for the dignity of one's fellow-beings, and protection of the integrity of the natural world.
  • Duty to Self: Defined as, The responsibility for the development of oneself to one's full potential physically, intellectually, spiritually and socially.

Scout Promise:
On my honour
I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God and the Queen
To help other people at all times,
And to carry out the spirit of the Scout Law.

Scout Law:
A Scout is helpful and trustworthy,
kind and cheerful,
considerate and clean,
wise in the use of all resources.

Scout Motto:
Be Prepared
