Visit a mosque to learn about Islam
Seek out new knowledge and insights with a discovery hunt, as you explore your local mosque.
Planning your visit
Get in touch with your local mosque to find out if you can arrange a visit on a suitable day or time. You could search online for mosque or ‘masjid’, which is the Arabic word for mosque. Many mosques hold open days or run tours for groups. You could get in touch with the Muslim Scout Fellowship (MSF) and see if there are any nearby Muslim Scout groups you could link up with. You can also find your nearest group on the MSF website.
Preparing for your visit
You should find out if there are any rules or guidelines the group will need to follow on the visit, such as dress code.
It’s usually encouraged for everyone to dress modestly, with clothes that cover the arms and legs, and are not tight fitting. Women and girls may also be asked to cover their heads.
Check if there are any guidelines people need to follow as they’re exploring. People will probably be asked to take off their shoes when entering the mosque or before entering the prayer area, and you’ll need to be quiet or silent if people are praying.
Check if people will be allowed to take photos in the mosque.
Make sure to ask if there are any prayer times or other activities that you’ll need to be aware of.
You might want to visit the mosque in advance to check any accessibility requirements, get to know the hosts and learn your way around, so you can best support the group and note any accessibility requirements.
Follow your hosts lead on how to greet each other when you meet. Remember, Muslims traditionally shake hands with the right hand and with the same gender only. If they’re greeting the opposite gender, they’ll probably opt for a friendly smile.
Planning and setting up this activity
Share your ideas for the discovery hunt or quiz sheet with your hosts and find out about the features of the mosque. They might have some great ideas, too. We’ve shared some ideas on this page, which you can adjust according to your local mosque and the needs of your group.
Bear in mind you will probably be guided around the mosque and may need to stay together as a whole group.
Work together to agree something that everyone is happy with. Ask if people will be able to take photos or if it’s OK for them to approach people to ask questions. If not, think about other ways people could get involved. Your discovery hunt could involve writing down and drawing things, or finding the answer to a question, rather than asking someone.
Prepare discovery hunt sheets or quiz sheets. You could divide everyone into groups and give them one each, or everyone could have one each.

lesbians run the girl scouts ...
Read a book about 9/11 and learn about Islam.
Learn about Islam by getting raped by these monsters. Sick effing aholes.
Little girls in Girl Scout uniforms are too sexy for the Muslims?
Girl Scouts promote abortion, greater powers, and now. Islam.
Heritage Girls is an alternate organization.
so Muslims have actually brought the Handmaids Tale to life...and liberals are fine with it
Send goats with GS uniforms on so the girls are left alone. What kind of ahole Mom or Dad would allow their daughter to do such a thing? I’ve got 2 daughters and they would’ve never joking the GS in the 1st place much less attend this BS!
Islam is 7th century collectivism, statism and extreme social control that would make Lenin and Hitler blush with shame and feel small by comparison.
That’s why WEF globalists and neo-marxists have signed on with the spread of Islam. They think they can harness it for their own purposes.
Pathetic.
Sent you a private message 👍
Will there be a demonstration on how to properly lop of a human head?
Boy oh boy! I bet the grooming gangs (whom the Beeb tried to stridently tell us were nothing but a “racist, islamophobic conspiracy theory”), are just drooling at an opportunity to have their next batch of young brides brought right to them.
/wish it WAS sarc
It's how Christian girls should dress. It's how Amish girls dress. It's how ultra-Orthodox Jewish girls dress.
The problem is that Western culture encourages slutty dress codes, but only if it offends Moslems.
Slutty dress codes should be discouraged because it offends Christians.
Yes. Cover up, girls, when visiting a Mosque. No needs to get your heads chopped off.
And if they don’t......?
I think I have to dress the same to visit the vatican
