8th Blackford Salaam is an Edinburgh based Scout group, part of the international Scout movement. We aim to provide activities and personal development opportunities for young people with an Islamic ethos.

Personal development means promoting the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual well-being of the individual, helping them achieve their full potential. In Scouting, we believe that young people develop most when they are 'learning by doing,' when they are given responsibility, work in teams, take acceptable risks and think for themselves.

The Beavers age group is from age 6 - 8½.

The Cubs age group is from age 8½ - 10½.

The Scouts age group is from age 10½ - 14.
