Kuwait Scouting features out-of-school education in character development, skills and traditions and clean living.
Community service projects include participation in environmental services, World Health Day and conducting youth work camps. Scouts also assist several charitable organizations in co-operative activities.
The Scouts have also offered considerable aid and assistance to other Scout organizations in the Persian Gulf area.
The Scout Motto is Kun Musta'idan or كن مستعداً, translating as Be Prepared in Arabic. The noun for a single Scout is Kashaf or كشاف in Arabic.
