During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to visit stations about several countries, including Turkey, Morocco, Indonesia, Jamaica, Ireland, Germany, Syria, India and Sweden, through educational activities and have their “passports” stamped.

This year, the Ismaili Girl Scouts, who are the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims and belong to the Shia branch of Islam, will be hosting the festive multicultural event. With nearly 100 registered members, the Ismaili Girl Scouts range in age from 5 to 18.
