About Scouting...

Our Aim is:

To encourage the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of young people so that they may take a constructive place in society as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities...

Our Principles:

The principles of Scouting are that Scouts should serve their God, act in consideration of the needs of others and develop and use their abilities to the betterment of themselves and their families and the community in which they live.
