This group was established in March 1994 by a group of volunteers. The surroundings of the Al Fara refugee camp, to the north of Nablus City and in the middle of nice fields and green areas, is an ideal terrain for scout boys.

Our goals:

Our main goal is to prepare the best people who carry the responsibility for themselves and for their country; we also educate the Boy Scout to depend on himself and to be a useful person within his community. We take care of the young people (15-20 years) not to slander in the dangerous social cancers such as smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs.

Members:

We have about 220 members which are divided into five groups according to the scout system.

Financial sources:

Our group depends on itself to fund its activities from the participation fees, which are paid by the members at the end of every year, and also we can find some additional sources from a small amount of money paid for each activity. But in general, we are facing so many problems with this part of our social work, that if we can’t find a donor, we won't be able to run our summer and winter camps, which need a large amount of money.

Volunteering and social work:

1. Helping the farmers in olive harvesting.
2. Painting the walls.
3. Looking after the public gardens.
4. Helping people who need help.
5. Taking care of water sources.

Our vision for the future:

We are always working to support our community, but we are facing some problems such as:
1. Building a separated center for the scout because we are currently using the Youth Sport Club building.
2. Scouting tools: we don’t have enough tools to organize big scout camps.
3. The musical band: we have a simple band for scout music but we need to provide this band with so many instruments like trumpet, back pipe and saxophone.

Closing remark:

We are proud we are still working, in spite of the exceptional situation, which is the Israeli occupation, and also the lack of financial sources.
