Najem：在 Telegram 規劃活動與營地的 AI 童軍助理

Originally published at scouthub.dev.

Najem is an AI scout assistant that works inside Telegram. You describe your activity or camp, and it gives you a detailed plan with a schedule, an equipment list, safety guidelines and an evaluation method. It is free, needs no sign-up or credit card, and is built on the Muslim Scouts and Lebanese scouting curricula.

Najem suggests. The leader decides and leads.

What is Najem, and who is it for?

Najem is for scout leaders in the Arab world, especially those working with the Muslim Scouts or Lebanese Scouting curriculum. It recognises the terminology of each curriculum and adapts to it. It also has dedicated assistants for the troop administrator, the commissioner's advisor and the leader trainer.

The World Organization of the Scout Movement says scouting has more than 60 million active members [1]. According to the platform's own figures, Najem has generated more than 5,500 activity plans and served more than 1,350 leaders in 12 Arab countries.

How do you start?

1. Choose the curriculum: Muslim Scouts or Lebanese Scouting.
2. Open the bot on Telegram. Telegram describes bots as small applications that run entirely inside its app [2]. If you already have Telegram, there is no new app to install.
3. Describe your activity directly, or use the prompt generator on the website.

No registration and no credit card are needed.

What does Najem offer?

• Activity and camp plans with a detailed schedule.

• Support for skills such as camping, navigation, leadership, communication and problem-solving.
• Help with meeting minutes, digital records and periodic reports.
• For commissioners: planning strategic goals and performance indicators.

An assistant for every stage and role

• Cubs and Girl Cubs: stories, games and basic skills.

• Rovers: community service projects and exploration planning.
• Troop administrator: an administrative assistant for daily work.
• Commissioner's advisor: planning at council level.
• Leader training: including preparation for the Wood Badge course.

The prompt generator: for when you don't know where to start

If you are not sure how to word your request, open the prompt generator on the website. It asks for the goal, the age stage, the group size and the place, then prepares a text that you send to Najem.

It has ready templates for a camp, a community service project, a leadership course, a day trip, a cultural activity and a campfire night.

Consult it together with your group

Najem can be added to the leaders' Telegram group as an admin, so the whole group can ask it questions and generate activities together.

We prefer that leaders discuss a plan among themselves before they adopt it, because sitting together around the plan is part of building a team. We wrote about this idea in Human First.

Najem suggests, the leader decides

A plan generated by Najem does not replace the leader's experience, supervision or the field safety rules. This is written on its website, and we repeat it here.

Review every plan, adjust it to your kids, your place and the weather, and apply the safety rules your troop follows.
