Main aim of Tanzanian Scout association is to promote self-reliance among the young generations.

The program emphasizes learning by doing, community development, and nature conservation, particularly in rural areas.

There is an active cooperation between Scouts and Girl Guides and with other youth organizations in celebrating national festivals, rendering services in villages and occasionally in courses, seminars and training camps.

One such project, with support from Norway, is establishing small rural industries and providing agricultural training.

Scout Promise Kwa yamini yangu, naahidi kwamba nitajitahidi kadiri ya uwezo wangu, kutimiza wajibu wangu kwa Mungu na kwa Taifa langu, kuwasaidia watu siku zote, na kutimiza Kanuni za Skauti.

On my honour, I promise that I will do my best, to do my duty to God and to my Nation; to help other people at all times and to keep the Scout Law.
