Congratulations to all of the recipients. Shout out to Eagle Scout Mohammad Qadri. Mohammad Qadri also had his Board of Review for the Summit Award, the highest Award in Venturing and became the first recipient to earn the award for Venturing Crew 114. To the best of our knowledge, Mohammad is the first Muslim Scout to achieve both Eagle and Summit Ranks.

Congratulations to this year's Area 6 Venturing Leadership Award recipients! Thank you for all that you do!

The awards will be presented at Phenomenon 2021 on Saturday, April 24 at Camp Sinoquipe.

Mohammad Qadri is an Eagle Scout. He's now trying to achieve the highest level of Scouting in Venturing, the Summit Award. To date, Crew 114, which was started in 2013, hasn't had any member achieve the Summit Award. It's difficult for Venturers to achieve it. They get busy with college and work, etc. Mohammad is going to do it. His Eagle project was unique. He did it on janazah. Visit http://www.janazah.org.

We truly invite you to help him possibly be the first in his Crew and possibly the first Muslim to achieve the rank of Summit.

To learn more about the Summit we are including a brief description here and a link:

The Summit Rank represents Venturing’s highest honor. To achieve this ultimate recognition, you will serve the crew as a leader— both formally and informally— and you will be a mentor to others. In addition, you will strengthen your community be designing and leading a service project to benefit others. The experience gained in earning this award will help you mature as a member of a team and as an individual.

Troop 400 chartered by the National Association of Muslim Americans on Scouting (NAMAS), held its Eagle Court of Honor in Doha, Qatar this week. Here the new Eagle Scouts show their Association of Muslim Eagle Scout patches. These boys had the distinct privilege of having gone to NYLT at THE Gilwell Park in England along with their parents who attended Wood Badge at the same time. The Chair of the AMES sat on the Eagle Board for these Scouts and is the XO for their unit. In fact, he was also the Cubmaster for one of these boys at one time. Scouting keeps us all connected. Congratulations and Welcoem to the Ranks of Eagle Scout!

Check out the awesome patches from the Association of Muslim Eagle Scouts.

We are very proud to provide a very unique patch for our Association of Muslim Eagle Scouts Affinity Group. This patch is 4 inches wide but it is not one a regular patch or two patches but rather a double sided patch. It can be worn with either side to the front as a temporary patch.

Here's an opportunity to share your cooking skills!

Eid is typically a time where we visit each other. We go from house to house sharing in the bounty of each other's food. During this time, we are hoping to recreate virtually this tradition virtually. The concept is that we want to have presenters, who will ahead of time, take a video of themselves....
