The Association of Muslim Scouts and Girl Scouts in Germany (BMPPD) is a Muslim scout association in Germany with headquarters in Wiesbaden .

Background, history and organization

In 2010 the BMPPD was founded with a first group in Rüsselsheim ( Groß-Gerau district ). The establishment was based on contacts with the French scouts Musulmans de France . The SMF was founded in 1990 by the head of a Sufi order, the Algerian-French clergyman Sheikh Khaled Bentounès. The Scouts Musulmans de France was the first Muslim scout association in Europe. Khaled Bentounès is today Honorary President of the Association of Muslim Scouts and Girl Scouts in Germany (BMPPD).

In 2013 the BMPPD had 150 members in Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia . “The goal is to have tribes all over Germany one day”.

The BMPPD has been a member of the Ring of German Scout Associations and the Ring of German Scout Associations since October 2018 . The federal government had already had good contacts with the rings beforehand. The Catholic German Scout Association Sankt Georg supports the Muslim scouts in training group leaders. In August 2013 around 500 scouts came together in Berlin for the European Conference of Scouts (“Guiding and Scouting build Europe”) and entered into a dialogue with politics and society about a democratic Europe. The BMPPD was officially invited to this project by the Ring (RDP / RdP).

The association has its seat in Wiesbaden . Since September 2016 the Rüsselsheimerin Naima Hartite national chairman and Kaddour El Karrouch the Federal Imam of the association.

Self-image and goals

The BMPPD has its ethical basis in the teachings of the Koran and in the Sunna (tradition) of the Prophet Mohammed . Following the Koran, the BMPPD is committed to dialogical encounters with people of other faith, skin color, language community and nationality, whom it recognizes as equal partners. The further order of the BMPPD includes that it is expressly committed to the free democratic basic order of the Federal Republic of Germany and to the concept of order as they are written down in the state constitutions. The BMPPD has made the co-educational upbringing and education of young people between the ages of 7 and 21 in Germany its task.

The BMPPD has set itself the following goals for the Muslim youth who are active in the association:

  • Promote the integration of young people with a migration background through a message of hope and strengthen their civic awareness.
  • Bringing young people closer to the history of their home country Germany and the associated social responsibility for peaceful coexistence.
  • Bringing young people closer to the wealth of cultural diversity in Germany.
  • Involve the youth as a possible force in building a better future and strengthen their social commitment.
  • To create space for the dialogue between young scouts of the scout associations in Germany , other youth organizations and individual youth.

activities

His “Flame of Hope” campaign, in which young people traveled across Germany with the Olympic flame, attracted particular attention : the association was awarded the 2012 Angelika Thiels Prize from the Wiesbaden Youth Parliament . In 2013, Peter Feldmann opened the campaign at the Frankfurt Hauptwache . This was followed by positions in the Kaisersaal of the Frankfurter Römer , in Wiesbaden, Rüsselsheim am Main, Hamburg, Hofheim, Düsseldorf, at the Federal Constitutional Court , a presentation in the Federal Ministry of the Interior with a reception by Gabriele Hauser and a reception in front of the Tiergarten town hall by Christian Hanke with speeches by Sawsan Chebli , Friederike von Kirchbach and Khaled Bentounès . Federal President Joachim Gauck praised the action in his message of greeting for the celebration of the breaking of the fast.

At the Protestant Church Congress in Hamburg in May 2013, a group of Muslim scouts took part for the first time. They contributed to the Protestant Church Congress in Stuttgart in June 2015 and the German Protestant Church Congress 2019 in Dortmund as an assistant in the security service and in the project management for the Center for Muslims and Christians.
