Welcome to Abu Dhabi Scouts
Abu Dhabi Scouts provides fun and friendship, challenge and everyday adventure to over 300 young people in Abu Dhabi, for both boys and girls aged 6 to 18.
Joining us couldn't be easier
Register your interest to join Abu Dhabi Scouts. We welcome everyone to join us, and will give priority to young people who have a parent willing to volunteer some of their time to help out. No previous experience necessary!
If you would like to both volunteer and register a Young Person, please ensure you complete both entry forms on this page.

Who can join
BSO is a slice of UK Scouting, here for families living in the United Arab Emirates. Whether you've moved here from the UK or somewhere else, our doors are open.
Every country has its own home of Scouting. Here, that's Emirates Scout Association — and if you're a national of the United Arab Emirates, they'd love to have you.
Volunteering's a different story. Anyone over 18 is welcome to help out, whatever your nationality — including nationals of the United Arab Emirates.
(This follows POR 3.2.1.1 — The Scout Association's rule for every BSO group.)
Maybe you're over 18. But not over Scouts.
Network members start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more.
Aged 18-25?
Try more. See more. Do more. At Scout Network, you'll stand on your own two feet, and make memories to last a lifetime.
Being part of Network
When you join Network, you'll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things. Find out more about what we get up to and how you can get involved.
Awards
The Scout Network programme is based around projects and events. Network members start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It all starts with an award.
Register to Volunteer
Our amazing teams of helpers, Team Leads and Boards of Trustees are all volunteers.
We are always looking for more people to join us, and there are lots of options. Whether you have an hour every two months, or can give your time weekly, we need you.
It's time to embrace your next big adventure. Volunteer with Abu Dhabi Scouts and be the best role model.
