The Muslim Girl Scouts troop of southeast Michigan could be one of the largest scout groups in the region with its more than 250 members according to a report. Its members reside in different cities in the region, and meet once a week. They also take trips during the summer.
Janan Wutwut, who has been a member for years says the group has brought her closer to her faith, and she wouldn't know as much about Islam as she does today if she hadn't joined. Wutwut says over the years she's met friends through the group she wouldn't have met otherwise, and formed close friendships.
"I've been in the group for years, and a lot of us have watched each other grow up. It's more than just a girl scout troop. We're forming strong friendships and learning a lot about each other. I've learned so much about my faith as well," Wutwut said.
