The scheme is not an organization. It is a program of practical, cultural, professional and adventurous activities designed to be used by all agencies having a concern for the development of young people.

The scheme and its program are flexible enough to meet youthful enthusiasm and aptitudes whatever their background or culture, however plentiful or limited their resources are.

There are three separate award levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. For each award level, there are specific requirements.

Participation in the scheme is voluntary, and people within the age group can participate singly or as a group. Completion of the requirements of each award level allows the participant to advance to the next level.

Meeting the minimum standards of achievement of each level qualifies the participants for the award in the form of a badge and certificate presented from H.R.H Prince El-Hassan Bin Talal.
