The International Union of Muslim Scouts (Arabic: الإتحاد العالمي للكشاف المسلم‎‎) (IUMS) is an autonomous, international body committed to promoting and supporting Islam within Scouting. Its headquarters are in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Establishment

The idea was first sparked in the 3rd Islamic Conference Summit, held in Taif, KSA (1981).

As a response Qatar Scout association called for the first Islamic conference together with 1st Islamic Jamboree (Doha - January 1982). Establishment officially declared in Amman, Jordan (1989), during the 3rd International Muslim Scouts Conference. In August 1992, the 6th International Scout Conference, in Pakistan, certified the emblem, organization and the statutes of the IUMS.
