### History and Activities  
The organisation has worked in Uganda since at least 2011, partnering with groups such as Berkshire Scouts and Soft Power Education to implement projects at rural schools and community centres. In 2011, a team of Explorer Scouts and leaders from Berkshire travelled to Uganda to undertake work at the Bukeka Children’s Centre and Kavule School for the Deaf, followed by a 2015 project at additional schools north of Jinja. These initiatives combined practical construction work with cultural exchange opportunities for participants.
