Tabasum: Founder and Spokesperson

Tabby was born in Takhar Province, Afghanistan, where she was a scout patrol leader and a member of the Afghan National Girls Choir. Forced to flee with her sister when the Taliban took over, she is now a high school student living in Durham North Carolina.

Fifi

Fifi was born in Kabul, where she was one of the senior female patrol leaders for the Afghan capital city. As a scout, she built a library for a local school. Her first priority after arriving in the USA, was joining Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) to become the first-ever Afghan Scout & Hazara woman to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.
