Najem is an AI scout assistant that operates within the Telegram platform. Upon describing your planned activity or camp, Najem generates a comprehensive plan, complete with a schedule, list of required equipment, safety guidelines, and an evaluation method. This innovative tool is completely free, requiring no registration or payment of any sort.

Developed on the curricula of Muslim Scouts and Lebanese scouting, Najem understands the specific terminology of these curricula and tailors its assistance accordingly. It serves an audience primarily consisting of scout leaders in the Arab world, particularly those teaching under the Muslim Scouts or Lebanese Scouting curricula.

Najem offers support for various stages and roles in scouting. For Cubs and Girl Cubs, it suggests age-appropriate stories, games, and basic skills. For Scouts and Guides, it delves into the patrol system, leadership, and the attainment of proficiency and progress badges. For Rovers, it proposes community service projects and planning for exploration.

The troop administrator will find an administrative assistant in Najem, as will the commissioner's advisor for planning at a council level. Leader training is also catered to, including preparation for the Wood Badge course. The platform allows users to choose between the Muslim Scouts or Lebanese Scouting curriculum upon initiation.

After selecting the curriculum, one can open the bot on Telegram, input their activity directly, or utilize the prompt generator on the website. No registration nor credit card is necessary to begin using Najem.

Najem's offerings include activity and camp plans complete with a detailed schedule, age-appropriate activity suggestions, equipment lists, safety guidelines, and an evaluation method. It translates scout values, the scout promise, and the scout law into practical behaviors. It also provides quick educational ideas to transform negative behavior into teamwork, support skills such as camping, navigation, leadership, communication, and problem-solving, and assists in creating meeting minutes, digital records, and periodic reports.

For commissioners, Najem aids in planning strategic goals and performance indicators. Moreover, Najem can be added to a leader's Telegram group as an admin, enabling the entire group to interact with Najem and collectively generate activities. The website advises that while Najem suggests a plan, the leader must ultimately decide, review the plan, adjust it to their specific context, and adhere to the safety rules of their troop.

Every plan generated by Najem is just a suggestion, never a replacement for the leader's experience, supervision, or adherence to safety rules.
