Scouts launch outfits for Muslim girls [View all]
The Scout Association has launched a new clothing range for Muslims in response to an increasing number of girls from the faith joining the organisation.
A "hoodie dress" and a T-shirt dress, both with long sleeves, are to be made available for activities including abseiling and climbing, following requests from the Muslim community.
The knee-length outfits feature a graphic print inspired by Scout badges and activities and are designed by Sarah Elenany, a 27-year-old British designer of Palestinian and Egyptian origin.
The Scout Association – founded in 1907 – said more than a third of all scouts worldwide are Muslim, with an estimated 2,000 Muslim scouts in the UK.
