Join Abu Dhabi Scouts

We welcome everyone aged 6 to 18. Most of our sections run a waiting list — add your child below and we'll be in touch as soon as a place comes up. Volunteering with us is the surest way to get your child a place: we give priority to families who join in alongside us.

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.)
