Scouting is primarily active in the districts in the south, as it is considered too dangerous in the north.

The Scout movement has few available well-trained leaders, but it shows great energy and has performed well in nature conservation and in community development.

Scouts are involved in community development activities and conservation, including cultivation of cereals, fruit trees and other crop tree planting, digging wells and building housing for the aged and disabled.

Scouts also participate in National Literacy Day and in other community service activities such as helping to build schools and to keep up public places, hospitals, etc.

In rural areas, Scouts use money earned from the sale of their own farm produce to buy medicine.
