For the first time in the Scout Association more girls are signing up than boys!
At the moment there are over 66,000 girl scouts in the UK. Including me!
Not only that but there has also been a rise in the number of Muslim young joining groups, with around 2,000 new members.
The Scout organisation has even launched a new uniform for the Muslim girls to wear, instead of the green shirts that i have to wear now. This was all after requests form some community leaders. They'll now be able to wear hoodies or t-shirt dresses to meetings.
Both new items are knee-length and are covered in bright graphics based on the different scout badgers.
These new clothes are available to all girl members of Scouts, so i will look at them.
In my opinion more girls are joining scouts because the do more adventure stuff as it tends to be boys. That's how i got pulled into joining scouts, and i recommend it to anyone that likes adventure!
