According to Joaquin, the Association is working on expanding and establishing groups in various parts of Guyana including Essequibo, La Grange, Mahaica/Mahaicony, Adventure, and other areas. One problem cited by the members of the Association is that of a lack of sufficient adult membership and supervision, and they are all encouraging adults across Guyana to join the Scouts bandwagon and help make a difference in the lives of youths.
