20th St Albans Ansar Scouts

Preparing young people with skills for life

We’re Scouts and everyone is welcome here.

Scouts of all ages are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling, and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team, and taking on new challenges.

Every week, we help young Muslims in St Albans aged 4-18 years old, develop skills they need for school, college, university, job interviews, important speech, tricky challenges, and big dreams, and the everyday boost of confidence, independence and the skills they need for life.

Sign up to help your child discover their ‘thing’: from abseiling to coding to performance art and everything in between. Are you ready to join the adventure?

We currently have 5 Sections consisting of:

Ibn Haytham Squirrels ages 4 to 6 years old

Battuta  Beavers 6 to 8 years old

Sena Cubs 8 to 10 ½ years old   

Firnas Scouts 10 ½ to 14 years old  

Al Fihiri Explorer Unit  14 to 18 Years old
