National Association of Muslim Americans on Scouting

Ramadan Quest Patch Program

The National Association of Muslim Americans on Scouting (NAMAS) is proud to present the Ramadan Quest program.  This is a new program so your feedback is most welcome as we work to enhance. The patch you see to the right is to give you an idea of what you can do. The idea is that each year a Scout would get just the year rocker they participated and the rank they obtained that year, while keeping the central patch. We will provide updates to the program throughout Ramadan and will also accept feedback through our Facebook group.
