Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts

CUB SCOUTS PACK # 786

Cub Scout Pack # 786 was formed in 2011. ICLI was recently awarded an official Cub Scout charter by the Theodore Roosevelt Council of the Boy Scouts of America. We try to create a fun and educational experience concerned with values. Besides providing a positive place where boys can enjoy safe, wholesome activities, Cub Scouting focuses on building character, improving physical fitness, teaching practical skills, and developing a spirit of community service.

Girl Scouts is about sharing the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Any girl—from kindergarten through 12th grade—can join ICLI Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts is the world’s largest organization of and for girls, currently encompassing 2.3 million girl members and nearly one million volunteers! Our troops here at ICLI since 2005 are unique because we stand shoulder to shoulder with our Muslim sisters. To help our Muslim girls learn more about their environment in a creative and interesting manner. The scout activities promote Islamic values, self-esteem and provide a safe environment under the peaceful light of Islam. Combining Islamic education with scout activity is our prime goal. This past year we did many events including our annual food drive, cookie sales, visiting a senior home and various community service efforts. One of the highpoints of our year was celebrating the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts. Submitted by Seema Rahman
