20th St Albans Ansar Scouts

Building a strong sense of community in St Albans

62 Young People

Week in week out 62 Young Muslim, build confidence by learning more about themselves, new skills and how they can make a difference in our community.

Skills for life

Both adults and young people learn side by side, what it takes to be a Muslim scout, from orienteering to bushcraft cooking and more.. Why are we Ansar? Well Ansar in Arabic means "the Helpers" and that's part of the Scouts Law and Values,..."to help other people" .

Our Ethos

We are Scouts, and we love Scouting. Scouting: A Diverse and Inclusive Movement Contrary to popular belief, Scouting is open to everyone, regardless of religion, gender, ethnicity, or background. It's a platform that values: Belief: Exploring faith and personal beliefs Respect: Respecting oneself and others Integrity: Honesty, trustworthiness, and loyalty Care: Supporting others and the planet Recently, more and more Muslim Scouts have joined the movement, finding a harmonious connection between Scouting's values and Islamic principles. This demonstrates Scouting's ability to accommodate diverse faiths and beliefs.

I love doing scouts because it is so much fun, but at the same time it teaches you to have skills that you will need for the future. They don't just teach you skills they also play games and go on very fun trips!”

Samina Scouts Leader

“I love being a scout leader because it gives me the chance to help kids discover their strengths, embrace challenges, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals. Watching them learn, lead, and support each other is the most rewarding part of the journey.”

When I joined as a volunteer, I didn’t think I had the skills and experience, to support young people in Scouting activities, how wrong I was. I quickly learned things that were out of my comfort zone, like fire lighting, bush crafting, and enjoying the great outdoors.
