EDL Notts turn their attention on Boy Scouts Group

The English Defence League's Nottingham Division have now focused their hate on a boy scouts group after a blog appeared on their website claiming that local Muslims had demanded a Muslim only group. This is the blog which was posted in order to rile up their division into causing trouble for the group by harrasment.

Nottingham Muslims show how “integrated” they are by demanding their own Scout group

By Nottm_Patriot – October 18, 2011 Posted in: News

A SCOUT group has been set up following requests from Muslim parents.

The new group, called the 92nd Nottingham, was due to meet for the first time in the Karima Institute, in Berridge Road West, Hyson Green, yesterday evening.

There are currently 25 young people taking part, being supported by ten adult volunteers.

Matt Rooney, County Commissioner for Nottinghamshire Scouts, said: “The opening of the 92nd Nottingham group is down to the hard work of volunteers from the local Muslim community and scouting working together to ensure that scouting is reflective of the communities in which we live.

“We are proud that more and more young people and adults are joining Scouting and I am proud to be the head of a movement in Nottinghamshire that celebrates and reflects the diversity of our communities.”

If you are from the local area and would like to volunteer to support the new group, or have young people interested in joining the 92nd or any other group, please contact Jayne in the County Scout Office on

What the EDL fail to point out is that the group is open to any child of any faith but the EDL try to spin it as though it is being 'demanded by Muslims' when in fact it has been set up by the hard work of Muslims who wish to integrate, proving once again that is Muslims do try to integrate with British society, the EDL will go out of their way to make sure they cannot, or at least, make it as difficult as possible for them.

This is how This is Nottingham reported the story:

A NEW scout group has been set up following a demand from Muslim parents.

The new group, called the 92nd Nottingham, will meet tonight between 6pm and 7pm in the Karima Institute, on Berridge Road West, in Hyson Green.

The group is open to anyone who wants to join any faith or race, but it was initially set up following a demand by Muslim parents who live in the area.

There are currently 25 young people, being supported by ten adult volunteers.

Matt Rooney, Head of the Notts Scouts, said, "The opening of the 92nd Nottingham group is down to the hard work of volunteers from the local Muslim community and scouting working together to ensure that scouting is reflective of the communities in which we live.

“We are proud that more and more young people and adults are joining Scouting and I am proud to be the head of a movement in Nottinghamshire that celebrates and reflects the diversity of our communities.”

Worldwide there are 32 Million Scouts from almost every county in the world and there are more Muslim Scouts than Christian Scouts.

If you are from the local area and would like to volunteer to support the new group or have young people interested in joining this, or any other group please contact Jayne in the County Scout Office on
