 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 Toufik El Hibri (1869-1954), the establishment of "The Ottoman Scout" was announced in 1912.In 1914 World War I broke out, Khairy left Beirut, so Mohammad Omar Mneimneh took charge of the movement, with the participation of Moheiddine Nsouli, Baha'elddine Tabbah and Said Sinno in administering the school's Scout movement.
