Its mission is to inculcate love of God, country and fellowmen, prepare youth for responsible leadership, and contribute to nation-building according to Scouting ideals. It is guided by Scouting's fundamental principles of brotherhood regardless of differences and recognition of a supreme being, as embodied in the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Scout Motto and Scout Slogan.
