What We Do

The Scout association encourage and facilitate community service projects and initiatives, allowing young people to give back to their communities through activities such as volunteering at local charities, participating in environmental clean-up efforts, and assisting with disaster relief efforts.

Community Services

Humanitarian Work

The Scout Association plays a vital role in strengthening the resilience of local communities, and providing relief efforts, both in natural hazard-driven and conflict-driven disasters. Humanitarian values are an integral part of Scouting values, and this is why Scouts are often on the frontline when disasters hit.

We offer opportunities for young people to learn a wide range of practical skills, such as first aid, navigation, fire building, cooking, knot tying, and wilderness survival. These skills are taught through hands-on activities, workshops, and training sessions across all our skills centres in the Gambia from Bakoteh, Soma, Basse, Sanyang etc.

Skills Development

Outdoor Adventures

Scout associations organize various outdoor activities and adventures, including camping trips, hiking expeditions, backpacking, canoeing, rock climbing, and survival skills training. These activities aim to foster a sense of adventure, self-reliance, and appreciation for nature among participants.

The Gambia scout association typically offers a range of educational activities aimed at promoting the development of young people in various aspects of their lives, including character building, leadership skills, outdoor activities, and community service. Some common activities by scout association include:
