The 1st Cathays Al Huda Scout Group in Cardiff became the first Muslim Scout Group in Wales in 2006 and the tenth in the United Kingdom.[1]

Youth numbers are increasing, but a shortage of leaders is reported. [2] Founded in March 2006 by Salah Aboulgasem,[3] the troop was active a year prior to its official establishment.[4] In 2006, 1st Cathays Al Huda had 90 members, composed of a Beaver Scouts section, separate Cub Scouts sections for boys and girls, and separate Scouts sections for boys and girls.[5]

According to Aboulgasem, the troop was launched to aid Muslims in taking leadership positions in society.[3] Aboulgasem said that "there's a lack of integration with Muslims" and that a number of Muslims were falling behind in education.[6] Non-Muslims are also permitted to join the troop,[1] and several are members.[7] The language spoken during the meetings is English.[4]
