FAQs

How can I register my interest in joining Futuwwah Scouts, for myself or my child?

Welcome! Please fill in the appropriate form to register your interest to start or join a group in your country, state or region. At present, we are accepting registrations of interest from potential leaders and young leaders (16+), assistants, and parent volunteers in the UK, Spain, USA, Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) and Other Regions. Once local groups form, we will direct parents to register their children in groups in their area.

After receiving your form, it may take several days or some weeks for us to contact you, depending on where you live. Thank you for your patience. All du’as, contributions and support are appreciated.

What is the time commitment for meetings and activities?

Groups typically meet weekly for 2 hours or every two weeks for longer, depending on the availability of leaders and volunteers. Leaders and young people are encouraged to plan outings, hikes and/or overnights several times a year, building up to an annual summer camp. Between meetings, scouts work on fulfilling criteria for interest badges and personal challenges. The time spent at home on badges is completely up to the young person, based on their other commitments and circumstances.

How much does it cost?

Membership fees for the umbrella organisation (Futuwwah Scouts CIC) are £36 per child per year or the equivalent in local currency, with a 10% discount for the 2nd child and a 15% discount for the 3^rd or subsequent children. Local groups will charge parents additional dues above that, depending on their actual expenses and number of scouts to share the costs (venue hire, costs for outings, sports equipment, arts & crafts materials, etc). Groups organise fundraising or seek sponsorships for larger expenses, supported by parents. Parents will also need to pay a small initial cost for uniforms and handbooks. Futuwwah Scouts CIC hopes to offer subsidies for those who need them.

What safety measures are in place to protect children?

Futuwwah Scouts operates a policy of “two-deep leadership”, meaning that two adults must be present with a group of any size at all times, for health and safety reasons. Leaders and assistants undergo police background checks, and are trained in youth protection and first aid.

How does Futuwwah Scouts cater to boys and girls of all abilities?

Futuwwah Scouts is open to boys and girls of all backgrounds and abilities at all age sections, and Futuwwah groups and clubs aim to cater to the needs of each individual child or young person.

Falcon groups, ages 6-12, may be either single-sex or mixed. Hawks, ages 11-16, are organised in single-sex groups or patrols with leaders of the same gender. Groups are organised so that no leaders or children are alone with the opposite sex.

What kind of uniform will Futuwwah Scouts wear?

We offer a range of uniform styles and choices in coordinating colours to allow for differences in climate, culture, and personal style. A neckerchief (“neckie”) and woggle/slide are unifying components, along with a membership badge. We will also offer sashes or waistcoats/vests to display badges earned.

Are the programme materials and training available in other languages?

We aim to reach as many young people as possible. To make Futuwwah Scouts accessible to families around the world, we intend to make our materials and training available in multiple languages over the next 3-5 years. Our first languages will be Spanish, French, Arabic, and Dutch, with an intention to add Urdu, Turkish, Farsi, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia and more, inshallah (God-willing).

Are you affiliated with a particular Islamic sect or madhhab?

The people behind Futuwwah Scouts are Sunni Muslims, but just two of our religious badges (My Faith, and Essentials of Islam) are specifically based on mainstream Sunni beliefs and practices. The Futuwwah Scouts programme is designed to be broadly suitable for youth of all backgrounds, interpretations and schools of thought; our general emphasis is on character development and putting faith into practice. Independent groups are also open to non-Muslim children and young people who accept the Promise and Futuwwah Code.

Who is behind Futuwwah Scouts?

We are Muslims with 35+ combined years of scouting experience in the USA, UK and Europe, supported by an international team of advisors, who are passionate about sharing the best of that experience with the next generation, by Allah’s grace.
