Our Scout Girls
10½ to 14 years Jump in and get muddy. Give back and get set. Scouts ignore the butterflies and go for it, and soon so will you.
Congratulations to the Scout Girls that attended our 4.5 mile 
Gaza and Palestine Fundraiser Winter Hike yesterday, and a big THANK YOU to all those who have donated or soon intend to donate to the cause.
May Allah accept your Sadaqa, Jazaakumullaahu Khayr
Alhamdulillah we completed our Electronics badge today ran by Sister Ayesha and her Dad .
A big thank you from the girl scouts team .
Reflection on completing this badge
Being able to solder lets you repair metal objects, make your own circuits and could even get you a job one day. It’s an example of a fine motor skill, as it involves working with small, fiddly bits and pieces in a precise way.
Girl Scouts will be setting themselves a Challenge today Inshallah that they will complete over a few weeks.
The challenges should be things that you they find difficult but can overcome with some effort and commitment.
They can be to do with any part of their life, for example home, school or Scouts.
Scouts share with the Leaders ideas for the upcoming scouting programme. This counts towards their Teamwork Challenge Award.
In the Team work Challenge Award we will introduce our scouts to the concept of entrepreneurship.
Dedicated the session to the HOLY LAND and PALESTINE
Discovered its history and Islamic significance, then concluded with a reflection craft.
Decorated jars in Palestinian themes with a ‘Free Palestine’ message.
This can be used as a lantern or as a dua or shukr jar.
I would like to save a BIG Congratulations on behalf of all our group to our Girls Scouts who represented our group at the MSF Olympics today in Sheffield.
The Team managed to gain 2 Golds and 6 Silver Awards.
They were overall 2nd in the Girls Scouts Section out of 21 Groups in this section.
This is absolutely amazing and this is on top of the Gold Trophy 🏆 they won at the District Water Weekend earlier this year.
Well Done !
They started with a conversation on healthy habits, jotting down ideas and then delivering short presentations.
They then had a discussion on addictions and their detrimental consequences. They made posters in teams, which are informative as well as eye-catching, we re sure you'll agree!

The Weekend Trip to visit the iconic Cambridge Masjid.
Arrived Friday evening and settled in at a local masjid where we had arranged the 2 nights of sleepover. Friday night a platter of various Pizza's, chicken nugget and accompanied with chips.
2.Saturday morning we started with Fajar prayers .
Had a quick healthy breakfast of toast ,fruit and cereal.
3.We hiked to a few iconic Cambridge spots named as one of the most beautiful in England.
We ended our first day hike by having a tour of the epic Eco Mosque of Cambridge.
Had a very enriching guided tour of the Mosque and got to know the contribution of The most remarkable community donation of Baraka Khan. She was described as an inspiring, intelligent and hard-working woman who studied at Cambridge University and raised £258,143.19 before she died, engaging 501 donors. She passed away at age 22 to lung cancer. They built a female-only balcony above the main worship area and dedicated this to her.
Duhar prayer was an unforgettable experience at the Eco mosque.
We were starved by this time and were treated with burgers and chips when back at the mosque.
Not to sit still we started another hike and visited all the colleges including Kings College.
Boba tea was exceptionally good considering we had been on foot all day .
It was dark now so we returned to the mosque for magrib and a delicious meal of chicken rice and salad all arranged beautifully by our explorer's .
Our feet were sore at this point but we wouldn't have missed our first ever night hike as scouts and in Cambridge too.
We had an incredible 3 hours of hiking at night followed by trip to the highest point in Cambridge.
Well only on Saturday we did more then 30,000 steps .
Come Sunday was punting for which we hiked again.
Also visited souvenir shops .
Rushed back to have last nights leftovers .
Made sure we left the mosque spotless .
Then it was time to say our goodbyes with dreams of many more such trips in the future

A visit to the Coventry Canal Basin sets the scene for this amazing adventurous and challenging session. What an unforgettable day and a chance for the Girls to do something out of their comfort zone.
This session was led by a team of qualified instructors. A small additional fee of £4.50 was charged for this session.
The scouts had a go at some games including Minefield, Mystery Drawing and even managed a human knot. Sounds twisted.
Back at the Hut this week with this an opportunity to stitch on badges, ironing a shirt, followed by some problem solving tasks.
A visit to the local Stoke Heath Park sets the theme for a day of practice for our award winning Scout Girls Team. Winners of the Caludon District Water Weekend Raft Race. The whole team are out practicing for the MSF Olympics to be held in Sheffield during the half term holidays
Start of the new scouting year. All sections fun day at the 7th Scouts Hut.
We also welcomed our new starters to the group.
