The Scout Association have launched a new long-sleeved clothing range for Muslim girls including a hooded dress and a T-shirt dress.

The knee-length outfits - designed to be worn over trousers, jeans or leggings - feature a graphic print inspired by Scout badges and activities and have been designed by Sarah Elenany, a 27-year-old British designer of Palestinian and Egyptian origin.

The Scout Association, founded in 1907, said more than a third of all scouts worldwide now are Muslim with an estimated 2,000 Muslim scouts in the UK.
