SCOUTING IN INDIA
 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.

SCOUTING IN INDIA
 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 separate Scout
Association for Indian Boys in Madras.

SCOUTING IN INDIA
 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..

Lal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India, Mauland
Abul Kalam Azad, the First education Minister of
India,Shri Mangal Das Pakvasa, Governor of
Central Province, and Scout leaders Pandit Hriday
