Muslim Scout Fellowship - UK
One-third of the world's 28 million Scouts are Muslims. The Muslim Scout Groups in the UK have formed a Muslim Scouting Fellowship, to cater for their needs.
Muslim scouting in the UK emerged in the late nineties. it developed from a few muslim scout leaders who believed in the values of scouting and who wanted the muslim community to share in the benefits and fun of scouting.
In the last few years the idea of scouting has gained a lot of supporters in the muslim community. the Muslim Scout Fellowship (MSF) is the UK's official body for muslim adults who are active in scouting. It is part of the scout association in the UK.
MSF Aims:
- To promote scouting in the muslim community
- To support muslim scout groups and muslim scout leaders
- To be active in promoting the cultural diversity of the scout association
- To take an active part in relevant national scout association's committees such as the faiths & beliefs team and the minority support team
- To support the work of the national adviser for spiritual development particularly in creating programme ideas and resources
- To be the first point of contact for issues concerning muslims in scouting
MSF produces a regular newsletter.
