Scouts at Iqra Real Islamic School | Developing Good Citizens

Scouting is a global movement that aims to educate young people in the values of citizenship, service, and character. Scouting is also a fun and adventurous way to learn new skills, make new friends, and explore the world. At Iqra Real Islamic School, we offer Scouting programs for boys and girls from age 6 to 25, following the guidelines of the Pakistan Boy Scouts Association and the Pakistan Girl Guides Association.
