Muslim scouts launch national organization in the US
November 16, 2024 - St. Louis, Missouri, United States: Fawaz Nihlawi, left, leader of Salam Scouts Troops 139 and 157, works to get two fire pits burning, one for girls and the other for boys, during a meeting of four troops at the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024. In January, the girls in Abuhamdeh’s Girl Scouts troop started a bracelet-making fundraiser to help Gaza children, but the regional council declared that the activity violated their policies and ordered them to remove all Girl Scout branding from their flyers or face legal action. Their bracelet campaign raised nearly $26,000 in donations for Gaza. Within days, the national Girl Scouts organization apologized for the regional council’s legal threat. The treatment from the regional council led Abuhamdeh’s troop to disband from the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri and created Salam Scouts, which quickly got national attention from other Muslim communities. They now count 21 troops in four states with 176 children registered and many on waiting lists. They are planning events like a potluck iftar, a Ramadan Bazaar and fundraiser, a charity walk and an advocacy day to learn how to become more civically engaged.

In January, the girls in Abuhamdeh’s Girl Scouts troop started a bracelet-making fundraiser to help Gaza children, but the regional council declared that the activity violated their policies and ordered them to remove all Girl Scout branding from their flyers or face legal action. Their bracelet campaign raised nearly $26,000 in donations for Gaza. Within days, the national Girl Scouts organization apologized for the regional council’s legal threat. The treatment from the regional council led Abuhamdeh’s troop to disband from the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri and created Salam Scouts, which quickly got national attention from other Muslim communities. They now count 21 troops in four states with 176 children registered and many on waiting lists. They are planning events like a potluck iftar, a Ramadan Bazaar and fundraiser, a charity walk and an advocacy day to learn how to become more civically engaged.
