The Muslim Scout Association of Lebanon (Arabic: جمعية الكشاف المسلم في لبنان‎‎) was established in 1912, the first Scout movement in Lebanon and the Arab world. Mohammad Abdul Jabbar Khairy was the founder of the Scout movement in Lebanon who is one of the three Indians who sought education in the universities of Beirut. When he traveled to Great Britain the Scout movement aroused the interest of Mohammad Khairy during his stay in London for studies. On his return to Beirut, and by the encouragement of the administration of Dar El O'loum School and its board of trustees headed by Sheikh Muhammad Toufik El Hibri (1869-1954), the establishment of The Ottoman Scout was announced in 1912.
