Bulangira Disables Association
As a result of Uganda 2000, the Company joined a partnership with the BDA UK Project Team, the Uganda Scouts Association and the Friends of Scouting Uganda, to provide a vocational workshop for the Bulangira Disables Association which also supports a 22 strong Scout Group. It provides work for its disabled members and aims to be self sufficient. The land was purchased and the completed workshop handed over to the Association and further improvements have since been made.

UK Uganda Network
The Network brings together those who have an interest in building friendship with the people in Uganda through Scouting. Many Groups, Districts and individuals have visited Uganda carrying out community and Scouting activities, such as Uganda 2000 to mark the millennium, which was sponsored by the Company. Other Network members have provided funds, particularly towards education for underprivileged children. For its first ten years BSEL supported the Network administratively and sponsored its twice yearly meetings. We have also provided financial assistance to the Uganda Scouts Association.
