Scouting in the Muslim community emerged in the the late nineties and has seen phenomenal growth in the last 20 years. The Muslim Scout Fellowship (MSF) is the UK’s official body for all Muslim adults who are active in Scouting and is part of The Scout Association in the UK. The MSF is the largest Muslim youth organisation providing access to non-formal education for young people. Our passion is to ensure all young Muslims living in the UK are given opportunities to grow, develop, become confident and empowered young Muslims who are skilled to be the future change makers in society.
Through scouts young Muslims learn new skills, develop personally socially and are stronger, more compassionate individuals who are a beacon of hope for their local communities. Through skilled leaders, our young Muslims have access to weekly programme which support, challenge and develop them, from speaking in front of thousands, to learning skills in the outdoors, to planting trees or learning to budget, each week is a true learning experience and it ensures our young people are well-rounded, resilient and able to cope with the ever growing demands of modern day life
