Scouts BSA Troop 23: Excellence in Faith & Leadership
Our program follows the official Scouts BSA advancement path, adapted to accommodate Islamic principles while fulfilling all scouting requirements. Scouts BSA is a national youth program open to both boys and girls ages 11 to 17 (or 5th-grade graduates through age 18). Unlike Cub Scouts—which is family-led—Scouts BSA is youth-led and youth-run, empowering youth to build outdoor skills, earn merit badges, and progress toward the Eagle Scout rank.

Troop 23 proudly operates under the charter of Masjid Al-Furqan West Cobb Islamic Center, offering a unique scouting experience that honors Islamic values while embracing the time-tested Scouts BSA program.

Troop 23 is chartered as a family troop structure welcoming both boys & girls, with completely separate boy and girl patrols following BSA guidelines. Adult leaders provide initial guidance, but the primary goal is to quickly hand the reins to the youth, creating a supportive environment where every scout can thrive and master self-reliance.
