Scouting
Scouting was initially established in Bangalore at the Bishop Cotton Boys' School before being formally established in British India in 1909. In 1913, Justice Vivian Bose, Madan Mohan, Hridayanath Kunzru, Girija Shankar Bajpai, Annie Besant, and George Arundale began scouting for local Indians. Scouting was exclusively accessible to British and international Scouts until this date. A Cub portion was started in 1916, and a Rover section was created in 1919.
Through fun and adventure, scouting helps young people grow up to be content, healthy, and helpful citizens.
Scouting fulfills its goal of assisting young people in their physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual development through recreation. The main goals of scouting include self-esteem and confidence development, leadership development, team building, outdoor adventure, education, and enjoyment. In order to prepare for their future as autonomous adults, scouts learn how to make moral decisions and accept ownership of their acts.
Guides
1911 saw the establishment of the first Girl Guides company at Christ Church School in Jabalpur. The movement spread quickly; by 1915, there were over fifty companies with over 1,200 members, all of which were directly registered with the Girl Guide Association and only open to young women of European heritage. In 1916, these businesses established the All India Girl Guides Association. The group started serving Indian females in the same year.
