Service, Caring and Sharing - are all essential principles of our faith,and also intrinsic to the Scouting way of life.  It is very important that the Youth engage in such leadership activities and understand the importance of cleanliness in society.  This type of engagement builds on the principles of service to the community, teamwork unity and most importantly responsible citizenship.”
