A story since 1995

Michael Archangel Scout was founded in 1995 as a land scout group under the leadership of Rai Gameel and fellow leaders. The group’s history has continued through different chapters, with scouts and leaders sharing experiences and building a community in Sheraton.

In 2012, the group moved into sea scouting. Four years later, in 2016, MAS announced its return to land scouting and introduced an updated group emblem. These changes form part of the history that connects the group’s past with its present.

Growing together

In 2017, the idea of the rover clan emerged and the group held its first combined camp. In 2023, the group held its first ceremony to launch the rover clan. Each milestone adds to the story of people coming together through scouting, friendship and service.

The archive includes group portraits from different moments. One shows a group with the Egyptian flag; others bring together many faces in shared portraits. They stand alongside the group’s recorded milestones as a way for scouts, alumni and friends to explore the community’s story.

Faith, friendship and service remain central to how MAS describes itself today. Through camps, church events and community gatherings, the group continues to bring young people and leaders together. Follow MAS on Instagram for more moments and updates.
