Scouting serves an important role in the Islamic community. Cub Scout packs, Scouts BSA troops, and Venturing crews operated by Islamic organizations can be found in major cities throughout the United States.
In 1980, the National Islamic Committee on Scouting (NICS) was formed by a group of concerned Muslims who represented many national Muslim organizations. Primarily, the NICS is responsible for formulating policies that govern the formation of Scouting in Islamic organizations and for guiding their cooperation with the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The NICS also establishes policies affecting the participation of Muslim men and women in Scouting through Islamic centers and mosques and advises the Boy Scouts of America National Council in all matters relating to Scouting among Muslims.
