Our learners gain invaluable skills that will serve them for a lifetime. We are proud to have active Scout and Girl Guide troops at Kuja School, participating in county and national jamborees. The department works closely with the Kenya Scouts Association and Girl Guides Kenya to ensure our learners get the best character-building experiences. I am proud to lead this department and watch our young people grow into responsible, confident, and service-oriented citizens."
