Special activities include community service projects such as tree planting. Scouts regularly participate in camping and hiking. [[Music]] is also a very important part of Scouting in the Gambia, but because there is little money for instruments and [[sheet music]], there is a waiting list to get into the Scout band, and they learn all their music by ear.
