HISTORY ABOUT BHARAT SCOUT AND GUIDE

HISTORY ABOUT BHARAT SCOUT AND GUIDE Sulekha Rani.R ,PGT Chemistry, KV NTPC Kayamkulam

The Scout Movement came to India in 1909. As it was then open to Anglo-Indian and European boy sonly, it was thought necessary to organize a Scout Movement for the benefit of the Indian boys and girls.  Accordingly Dr. Annie Besant assisted by Dr. G.S. Arundale established in 1916 the Indian Boy Scouts Association in the South and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and Pt.Hridayanath Kunzru assisted by Pt.Shri Ram Bajpai, in 1917 established the Seva Samithi Scout Association in the North.  In the year 1922 the Indian Boy Scout Association was amalgamated with the Boy Scout Association in India while the Seva Samithi Scout Association in India while the Seva Samithi Scout Association continued to work as an independent and separate organization.  In 1938 due to a wave of intense nationalism a considerable number of members of the intense nationalism a considerable number of members of the Boy Scout Association left it. They along with the Seva Samithi Scout Association in India and the newly formed India National Scout Association formed the Hindustan Scout Association open to Boys and Girls alike. Both the Hindustan Scout Association and the Boy Scout Association in India continued to function separately.         After the attainment of Swaraj in 1947 all the differences that existed previously between the different Associations disappeared. The Boy Scout Association in India and Hindustan Scout Association merged themselves on 7th November 1950 under the name of the Bharat Scouts and Guides.         The Girl Guides Association in India, which all along functioned as a separate organization for girls, also joined the Bharat Scouts and Guides on 15th August 1951. "The Bharat Scouts and Guides" is thus the only Scout Association in India recognized by the Government both at the center and the states functioning both for boys and girls.         The Bharat Scouts and Guides is the only Association in India having International reorganization. The Scout section is registered with the World Scout Bureau and the Guide section a full member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.   FOUNDER      Baden-Powell The Scout Movement was started in 1907 by Baron Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, better known as Robert Baden-Powell who was born on 22nd February 1857 in London, UK. In 1910 Baden-Powell asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell to help him form a similar movement for girls which became the Girl Guide Movement. Later on Baden-Powell met Olave St Clair Soames who was also born on 22nd February in 1889. Olave became involved with the Girl Guide Movement and also married Baden-Powell on 30th October 1912. Baden-Powell died in Africa on 8th January 1941 and was burred in Nyeri a town in Kenya. Olave then returned to England where she lived until her death on 19th June 1977 after which her ashes were taken back to Nyeri. For their lifetime commitment to Scouting Baden-Powell became known asChief Scout of the World whilst Olave is known as the World Chief Guide  Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden Powell of Gilwell, known to millions by his magical initials B.P. Founder of the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Movement was born in London on the 22nd February 1357. He was the sixth son of professor H.G. Baden Powell and Henrietta Grace, daughter of Admiral William Smyth. Professor Baden Powell died when B.P. was three years old and the burden of bringing up the family, therefore, devolved entirely on Mrs. Baden Powell. She allowed them a good deal of freedom to go about and lean things for themselves. This early up-bringing gave B.P. the real start for his future life as a soldier and an outdoorsman.         It was almost an accident that took him to the army. He was very popular with all the men and officers in the regiment. He was a great hoarse-man, an expert at polo and pig-sticking, clever at many kind of theatricals and play-acting and a skillful artist. He also did hard work at soldiering and rose rapidly to be a Captain in 1823.      To know how Scouting began we must go back a few years prior to the siege of Mafeking. His army manual Aids to Scouting was being used in many schools and boys in outdoor activities. He collected together twenty boys, some from the Boys' Brigade and others sons of his friends and held a camp for them on Brown Sea Island in Poole Harbor in August 1907. the camp was a great success and B.P. decided to write his now famous book Scouting for Boys. It was published in 1908 in six fortnightly parts. Boys everywhere began to buy up copies and to start Scouting on their own, asking likely men to become Scoutmasters. Thus Patrols and Troops began to spring up rapidly all over England, and B.P. was therefore, forced to retire from active service to look after the growth of this new youth movement. It is, in a way, correct to say that the boys themselves started the movement, because B.P. himself had only thought the he was giving out a scheme to be used by boys' club and societies already in existence then.   After the formation of the Boy Scout Movement, B.P. came to India twice, once in 1921 when he bought about an amalgamation of the two out of three separate Scout organizations then in existence and again in 1937 when he came to attend the First-All-India Jamboree in Delhi. After going back he attended the world Jamboree in Vogelensang in Holland. This was his last Jamboree.       The end came suddenly on the 8th January 2941. He was buried in Nyeri amidst natures' most beautiful vistas with his head to the north to the snowcapped mountains of Kenya which he loved so much

Olave   STORY OF GUDING  The Guides are a famous crops belonging to the frontier force. These men were trained for fighting under any conditions-on foot-on horseback in the mountains or on the plains. They had to be ready to turn out on active service at any time of the days or night. Even they had to be ready to sacrifice their lives.          Then there are Guides in Europe, the picked mountaineers of Switzerland. These men are known for their courage and skill in tackling obstacles. The easy path is of no interest of these Guides. They find the meaning of life in the face of difficulties, danger and self-sacrifice and only by surmounting these can they reach the summit, which they set out to attain.   Most girls like to live as these pioneers and guides are living. They would rather be ready to help others, to sacrifice themselves and find their happiness in overcoming difficulties and that is just what the Guide can do.         Pioneers go ahead to find the path for others to follow; their task requires knowledge, courage and sacrifice. A Guide may have all these things in common with the pioneers. Adventure and the satisfaction of service belong to the girls, as they belong to the tribe heroines of a by gone days - to SITA, to SAVITRI, to the other women of Ramayana and Mahabharata fame.         A guide leans to live in the open as the brave Rajput women used to live. For the Guide, friendliness and happiness will become a habit, as she trains herself to be able to do her duty to her country and in her home.         She explores new fields of knowledge, discovers new ways of enjoying herself and in finding these fresh pleasures she discovers the happiness and joy of giving her service freely to others.  GUIDING IN INDIA  Show the knowledge of 'Guiding in India'. Girl guides should know more about guiding. Know how guiding in India developed. How Dr. Annie Besant started the movement for Indians. The first guide company was started in Clacutta. The Girl Guides Association was conducting activities in the country before independence. On the August 15, 1951 the Guides Association of India merged with the Bharat Scouts and Guides.         The Guide wing of our National Association is affiliated to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGS) with its international headquarters om:pmdpm (England). There are regional centers of guiding, ('Sangam is such a regional center for international guiding Pune (Maharashtra). Our guides should visit Sangam at their earlier convenience international events of guiding like camps; seminars etc. are arranged at that center.  HISTORY OF GIRL GUIDING IN INDIA  Towards the end of the last century a young man named Robert Baden Powell was deployed at Africa as a British army officer to fight against the Bores of South Africa. He was posted to defend Mafeking. In winning the battle he did not depend on the soldiers only but mobilized the local boys and men to help him in his difficult task. He utilized their services for small but important jobs. His efforts brought him success. He returned to his motherland in 1900 as the Hero of Mafeking.         On his return to his home country. Young Baden Powell did not forget the ways and means with which he was able to turn ordinary lads into expert individuals for sharing the responsibilities of a highly hazardous operation. He was convinced that if the latent powers of the boys could be developed and skillfully utilized for a war purpose their hidden talents and innate capacities could certainly be used for many good and constructive purposes also during peacetime.         After a brief partial experiment, at Brown Sea Island he formed the Boy Scout Movement. The ideas embodied in the scheme and the result of its implementation caught the imagination of the informed public. A large number of boys eagerly came forward to enlist themselves as Scouts. The young girls displayed similar enthusiasm, and along with their brothers started preparing themselves for the tests. Baden Powell, the wise man that he was, apprehended that the traditional society of those times might not approve of girls being trained in the same manner as boys and it might take some years for people to shed the age-old inhibitions and customs. To begin with the tried to persuade the girls give up the idea of being 'Boy Scouts' but when he found that they were determined to follow their brothers, he opened a separate girl branch of the Movement, and named enrolled members as GIRL GUIDES instead of Boy Scouts. He separated the Girl section of the Movement in to a new section and put his sister Agnes Baden Powell in charge to look after it.         Soon the Movement crossed the seas beyond Great Britain and was introduced in a number of countries in Europe and Asia. The GIRL GUIDE. Movement came to India in 1911.
