Visit from 1st Whitely Cubs

1st Whiteley CubsBoys and girls from 1st Whiteley Cubs visited the Wessex Jamaat on 15th May, 2018 to help them earn their World Faith activities badge. They were given a tour of Al Mahdi Centre to learn about how the local Muslim community worships and how the centre is designed to be sustainable.

Cub Scout leader Liz Thompson said: "Cubs were awarded their World Faith badge by the Imam, Sheikh Fazle Abbas, which was a real honour.

"Our hosts could not have been more friendly and welcoming - it was an enlightening and fascinating evening which the Cubs and leaders thoroughly enjoyed.

"We would like to extend our thanks to Al Mahdi Centre for this wonderful opportunity."
