History:
Scouting (or the Scout Movement) has the stated aim of supporting young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society. During the first half of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups each for boys (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout) and, in 1910, a new organization, Girl Guides, was created for girls (Brownie Guide, Girl Guide and Girl Scout, Ranger Guide). It is one of several worldwide youth organizations. Scouting began in 1907 when Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant general in the British Army, held the first Scouting encampment on Brownsea Island in England. Baden-Powell wrote the principles of Scouting in Scouting for Boys (London, 1908), based on his earlier military books, with influence and support of Frederick Russell Burnham (Chief of Scouts in British Africa), Ernest Thompson Seton of the Woodcraft Indians, William Alexander Smith of the Boys' Brigade, and his publisher Pearson. The movement employs the Scout method, a program of informal education with an emphasis on practical outdoor activities, including camping, woodcraft, aquatics, hiking, backpacking, and sports. Another widely recognized movement characteristic is the Scout uniform, by intent hiding all differences of social standing in a country and making for equality, with neckerchief and campaign hat or comparable headwear. Distinctive uniform insignia include the fleur-de-lis and the trefoil, as well as badges and other patches. In 2011, Scouting and Guiding together had over 41 million members worldwide. ORIGIN OF HINDUSTAN SCOUTS AND GUIDES :- Due to monopoly of only one organization in the field of Scouting and Guiding there was no sufficient progress rather “The Bharat Scouts & Guides” was failed to cover even 1% of youth of India after having every kind of support of Central & State Governments. Not only this the organization of Bharat Scouts & Guides, either Central or State Branches indulged in high level corruption. In 1997-98 the college students of all over India agitated on roads and gave Memorandum to the then Mahamahim Rastapati Sh. Narayanan Ji and some M.P.’s raised question in Parliament of India against their corruption. Zee News channel broadcasted its whole corruption in Inside story. Mahamahim Rastapati Sh. Narayanan Ji withdrew the Chief Patronship of Bharat Scouts & Guides and stopped to sign over the Certificates of Rastrapati Scouts, Guides, Rovers and Rangers Awards and ordered to not allow any kind of function related to Bharat Scouts & Guides in Rastrapati Bhawan. (It continued till 2008)He also suggested concerned Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Govt. of India to open the doors in the field of Scouting and Guiding in India for other N.G.O.s. The then Deputy Secretary (Youth Affairs) to Govt. of India, motivated Mr. Shri Niwas Sharma, a dedicated Scout Master (since 1950) to establish a new National Scouts & Guides Association. The decision to form said parallel National Association at the time of Celebration of Swarn Jayanti All India Scout Guide Jamboree held at Sec.-10, Rohini, New Delhi, from 26-04-1998 to 30-04-1998, with the financial assistance of the then Chief Minister of Delhi Govt., Late Dr. Sahib Singh Verma
New Govt. Policy- The revised scheme of Promotion of Scouting and Guiding in India :- Was declared on 14-02-2001 vide order No. F.2-1/2000-YS-IV by Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports Govt. Under which any registered N.G.O. may use Scout and Guides as general term and any it may be recognised as National Association if it has more then 5 State Branches and under this policy Hindustan Scouts and Guides was recognized by Govt. of India vide order No. F.20-2/99-YS-IV dated 07-03-2001. Soon it was spread all over India.
