During the Lebanese civil war, Scouts from all associations played an important role in helping civilians, distributing food, medicine, and other forms of aid to refugees.

Today, years after the end of the civil war, Scouting in Lebanon still faces great tasks, with Lebanon being involved in large reconstruction plans aimed to erase effects of the war and to enable it to regain its advanced role in the region and the world.

[citation needed] The role of the Scouts include promoting peace and unity through campaigns and summer camps for youth and children.

However, without a stable and peaceful environment, the leaders of the Arab Scout Region decided to defer the date of the event to be in Beirut during 2007.

The Scout Motto is Be Prepared (French: Toujours Prêt, Arabic: كن مستعداً, Kun Musta'idan), and also Always Ready in Armenian.
