In the spiritual aspect, we are working hand in hand with the church to provide Christian education. Besides that, other activities include athletics, physical training, gymnastics, first aid, swimming, seamanship, football, arts & crafts, signalling, expeditions, canoeing, archery, etc. Youths also have a chance to communicate with youths internationally. We also encourage youths to practice what they have learned by serving the society (community service). We are using the most advance and modern techniques to help the growth of the youths.
