BHARATH SCOUTS AND
GUIDES
The Boy Scouts Movement had
a simple start in the year 1907 when a retired Army General Lord Baden Powell
conducted an experimental camp in Brown sea Island in England with 20 boys. The
successful conduct of the camp and publication of the Book “Scouting for Boys”
in a fortnightly marked the start of the Boy Scout Movement.In the year 1910,
Crystal palace Rally was held where Girls wearing the boy Scout uniform
appeared and wanted to join the Scout Movement. Lord Baden Powell decided to
start a movement for Girls with the help of his sister Agnes Baden Powell
Scouting started in India
in the year 1909, when Captain T.H.Baker established the first Scout Troop in
Bangalore and got it registered with imperial Headquarters, London.subsequently,
Scout Troops were formed in Kirkee (Pune), Simla, Madras, Jabalpur, Lonavla (Mumbai) and registered with the Imperial Headquarters
during 1910 and 1911. These units were open to European and Anglo Indian
Children only.The first Guide Company in India was started in Jabalpur, Central
India in 1911.As
the Scout Movement was not initially open to the Indian boys, Nationalist
leaders of India decided to offer Scouting activities to Indian Boys and Sewa
Samiti Scout Association was formed with Headquarters in Allahabad by Pandit
Madan Mohan Malviya, Pandit Hriday Nath Kunzru and Pandit Sriram Bajpai.
Dr.Annie Besant with the help of Shri
G.S.Arundale started a seperate Scout Association for Indian Boys in Madras.
Efforts were made for
unification of different scout groups existing in India during the visit of
Lord Baden Powell to India in 1921 and 1937 but failed. Major reason for the
failure in unification was the promise clause which included the word “Duty to
King”. Our Patriotic sentiments of our Nationalist leaders did not approve the
allegiance to the British Empire and instead it was insisted that allegiance loyalty to the Country should be part of the Scout
Promise..
