Boys and Girls groups gives the opportunity to the Armenian youth learn about themselves as Armenians, while developing in each individual a sense of social and moral responsibility. The program is developed and implemented by the Council, a body appointed by the Regional Executive. It features regional camping trips and seminars on scouting and Armenian-related topics, supplemented by illustrated manuals written Armenian language. Following completion of each educational manual, a final exam is administered, and those who pass receive the appropriate badge and certificate.
