PGMA Troop 3480 Has Launched With 40 Girls!

Alhumdullilah, what a turn out! The troop leaders of PGMA Girl Scout Troop 3480 could not have been more pleased with the excellent attendance at the inaugural meeting held last Friday, 18 May. We now have 40 registered girl scouts in our troop and we are beginning to plan summer and fall activities, Insha-Allah.

We are still accepting registration for girls who are currently in the 4th grade and up. Girls in these grades — Juniors, Cadettes and Seniors — are invited to register at the May 25th meeting. The meeting starts at 6:00 pm, so girls who still need to register should arrive 15 minutes early. WE WILL BE STARTING ON TIME, Insha-Allah.

Due to the high interest in girl scouting within our community and our desire to be in compliance with the girl-to-adult volunteer ratio, we are no longer accepting registration for Daisy and Brownie scouts until September. If your daughter is in the 2nd or 3rd grade, please contact the troop manager directly at alia [dot] kemet [at] gmail [dot] com to be placed on the waiting list.

A special note to parents: Thank you all for bringing your daughters to the inaugural meeting. Your enthusiasm and dedication to the girls is contagious and we are looking forward to harnessing that energy and involving many of you in the Girl Scout family!

Don’t forget to check out the Donate page as there are many items that your daughter’s troop is in need of. Also, get your girls in the proper uniform. We would like all girls to be looking sharp in compliance with the uniform policy on or before the start of June.

Thanks for all of your support. Together, with Allah’s (swt) guidance we will work to build girls of faith, courage, confidence and character and who make the world a better place.

Girl Scout Ambassador Abrar Omeish Shares a Message of Peace

The Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital hosted an Interfaith Service as one of the signature events celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Girl Scouts. The video of the service at the National Cathedral is a must-see for every girl scout, but Girl Scout Ambassador Abrar Omeish touched our hearts because of how she so poignantly related a verse from the Holy Quran to the Girl Scout Law.

O mankind! We created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other not that you may despise each other. Verily, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is he who is the most righteous of you, and Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted with all things.
Surah Al Hujurat, verse 13

Watch the whole thing — it is truly a beautiful experience — but if you’re pressed for time, check out Omeish at minute 36:05.

It’s Our Planet, Love It!

Troop 3480’s summer theme is: It’s Your Planet, Love It!

Through girl scouting, girls see the earth as their home. Whether they are
learning about endangered wildlife, developing creative recycling projects, or
working towards earned grade-level awards, girls focus on care, conservation,
and responsibility. They ensure the safety of our planet for future generations.

PGMA Girl Scouts will be initiating a Green Recycling Initiative at the Masjid. Interested in contributing ideas to this green initiative? Contact Troop Manager Sr. Alia at alia [dot] kemet [at] gmail [dot] com.
