1st North Finchley (IANL) Scouts
We are pleased to announce that we now have our own community Scout group that is starting up for the youth in our IANL community. Although Scouting was first started in the UK, it has become big in the Muslim world during the years that followed. Nearly every Muslim country has a Scouting movement and the Muslim countries contribute some of the largest numbers to the overall international Scouting community.
Muslim Faith-Based Scouting Groups
In the UK, the growth of Muslim faith-based Scout groups has been supported by the Muslim Scout Fellowship since their formation over 25 years ago.
