The program emphasis is on community service. Financial assistance from other Scout Associations has helped in the creation of a vocational training center for boys and girls who are taught woodwork, electricity, carpentry, dressmaking, and other useful skills.
There are other important programs which include expanding Scouting in schools, conservation training, and tree planting.
