information DESCRIPTION

Edinburgh Muslim Scout Group (8th Braid Salaam Scout Group)

We are an Edinburgh based Scout group, part of the international Scout movement. We aim to provide activities and personal development opportunities for young people with an Islamic ethos.

We believe that young people develop most when they are learning by doing, when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves. Everything we do is guided by the balanced programme which is a continuous progression of training, activities, badges and awards for young people from 6 to 25. We offer a huge range of activities and experiences to suit all ages, abilities and interests including:

Badge work – we still award badges and today there are lots of subjects to choose from including some traditional ones like camp cook to modern ones like global conservation.

Awards and challenges – young people can work towards a range of these to reward participation, commitment and achievement. Some are individual and others for group efforts.

Outdoors – camping and outdoor activities are a very important part of Scouting for all our members. This includes anything from a Beaver experiencing their first ever night away from home and family at a sleepover, to an expedition to Mount Everest.

Providing life skills, fun, rewards, and confidence to our children of Balerno and surrounding areas through Scouting.

We’d love you to join us in Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers or Network, or to volunteer as an adult. Join us!

What we do...

In Scouting we offer fun, friendship and adventure to young people in five sections according to age. There is an emphasis on outdoor activities throughout. The older sections take increasing responsibility for the running of their programme.

Scouting is run by adult volunteers.

Join the adventure!
