Leaders

I hugely recommend scouts, it is a life changing experience, every week is full of fun activities, I have now been on two camping trips and it’s taught me to very Independent, organised and help out more at home:)

I have been part of scouting since I was six years old and absolutely love it because it is very fun and enjoyable. I feel it makes you a better person because it helps you learn life skills such as looking after our environment. I have overcome many fears in scouts and made great friends. Highlights include: camping, capture the flag, leap of faith, rifle shooting and many more.

Hello, my name is Adam Itani and I am a member of the 23rd Wembely Scout group. My favourite memories in scouting were when I conquered my fear of heights through rock climbing. When I went camping, it was tough and we got to connect with people we didn’t know and introduce ourselves. We also have the opportunity to interact with nature. We are continually learning new things in scouts.

I find scouts a way for me to have fun and work hard at the same time. It is enjoyable and I have had many fun memories and actives because of it, these include: Camping, high ropes, pioneering quick drop and much more. It is a way for me to learn new things and become a better person in general. I would recommend it to everyone and think it’s one of the most exciting things I do.

“We want our children to grow into amazing human beings and I believe Scouting is giving my child an opportunity to explore different life skills due to the variety of activities presented. Skills : work in a team, endurance, cooking, map reading, first aid, helping community, be creative, fitness etc. Activities: different games, hikes, camping, pioneering, youth led activities , archery and more. Definitely recommend.

As a parent, scouts means that my children receive a well rounded upbringing. Not only to they partake in character building activities, that they would probably never have the opportunity to do otherwise, but they also receive mentor ship from adults outside their family. As a result, the lessons that I try to teach them in life is reaffirmed to them and will carry more weight with them. It’s takes a village to raise a child and scouts are part of that village alhamdulilah.

My son joined the 23rd Wembley scout group he has benefited from the Boy Scout experiences. From friendships to overnight camping, litter picking , youth led activities and many more Boys Scouts group has been amazing and my son has benefited greatly from the activities and the input from the leaders . The best part is that my son is able to perform his prayer and socialise with other boys from the Muslim community. Being part of scouts has shaped my personality, It has made me confident, think outside the box and given me a platform to lead small team. I’ve learnt some incredible life skills and I’m very grateful for my leaders and my fellow scouters. I hope to give back as I grow and enjoy the journey

Leaders within scouting are amazing as always. They support the parents and guide them according to their needs. The atmosphere that the leaders have created for the girls is lively and joyful. In fact, they always organise activities that keep the girls engaged and create a productive atmosphere for them to learn and grow as individuals. My duas are always with them. They are truly a role model for the whole community and especially for the girls. Scouting has always allowed my daughter to develop her hidden social, physical and intellectual potential. As a parent, I am really pleased and blessed to have found 23rd Wembley Sahabah scouts. Throughout her scouting journey, my child has enhanced her confidence skills, polished her self esteem and has gained valuable knowledge about various topics. She has also learnt important life skills such as leadership, team building, outdoor adventure and most importantly had lots of fun!!

We are delighted to have this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to the 23rd Wembley Scouts team of dedicated leaders and volunteers. They are an absolutely remarkable group and we are so grateful for all the opportunities that our daughters have had as Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts under their careful coordination and amazing guidance. As a family that is not your typical outdoor-type, we have relied on the Scouts to teach our daughters those crucial skills and to appreciate the great outdoors – and the Scouts have only exceeded our expectations in the bravery and comfort that our daughters now exhibit amidst nature. Our daughters proudly confess after camp that they don’t miss us and keep saying how they wished the camp had lasted longer – a true testament to the outstanding planning by the leaders followed by the superb execution as well as all the care and attention shown to our daughters throughout. We would like to thank the 23rd Wembley Scout group for the fantastic impact it has had on our daughters and we can’t wait to have our son join as a Beaver!
