The '''Bharat Scouts and Guides''' ('''BSG''') is the national [[Scouting]] and [[Girl Guides|Guiding]] association of India. The national headquarters of BSG is recognised by the [[Government of India]].<ref name=yf>{{cite web | title = Promotion of Scouting & Guiding | publisher = Department of Youth Affairs, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports | url = http://yas.nic.in/en/yas1/about-department | access-date = 2014-08-13 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140814155944/http://yas.nic.in/en/yas1/promotion-scouting-guiding | archive-date = 14 August 2014 }}</ref>

Scouting was founded in India in 1909 as an overseas branch of [[the Scout Association]] and became a member of the [[World Organization of the Scout Movement]] in 1938. Guiding in India started in 1911 and was amongst the founder members of the [[World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts]] in 1928, also covering present-day [[Bangladesh]] and [[Pakistan]] at that time. The BSG serves 3,835,094 Scouts (as of 2021)<ref>{{Cite web |title=WOSM's Membership Census {{!}} Scout Learning Zone |url=https://learn.scout.org/resource/wosms-membership-census |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=learn.scout.org}}</ref><ref name="Census_2010">{{cite web|title=Triennal review: Census as at 1 December 2010|url=http://scout.org/en/content/download/22261/199900/file/Census.pdf|publisher=World Organization of the Scout Movement|access-date=13 January 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120508035838/http://www.scout.org/en/content/download/22261/199900/file/Census.pdf|archive-date=8 May 2012}}</ref> and 1,286,161 Guides (as of 2005).<ref name="BSG-membership">{{cite web |title=Membership |url=http://www.bsgindia.org/membership.htm |publisher=The Bharat Scouts and Guides |access-date=13 January 2007 |archive-date=20 May 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070520070519/http://www.bsgindia.org/membership.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Honouring the oath: The beginning|url= http://www.hindu.com/yw/2007/08/17/stories/2007081750750800.htm|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070819071116/http://www.hindu.com/yw/2007/08/17/stories/2007081750750800.htm|url-status= dead|archive-date= 19 August 2007|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=17 August 2007 }}</ref>

==History==
===Boy Scouts===
[[File:Scouts in Delhi.jpg|thumb|220px|Boy Scouts in Delhi]]
Scouting was officially founded in [[British Raj|British India]] in 1909, first starting at the [[Bishop Cotton Boys' School]] in [[Bangalore]]. Scouting for native Indians was started by Justice [[Vivian Bose]], Madan Mohan, [[Hridayanath Kunzru]], [[Girija Shankar Bajpai]], [[Annie Besant]] and [[George Arundale]], in 1913. Prior to this date, Scouting was open only for British and foreign Scouts. In 1916, a [[Cub Scout|Cub]] section was started, followed by the [[Rover Scout|Rover]] section in 1918.
[[File:Eastern Railway Bharat Scouts and Guides camp in Asansol 11.jpg|left|thumb|Eastern Railway Bharat Scouts camp in Asansol]]

In 1916, [[Kolkata|Calcutta]]'s Senior Deputy Commissioner of Police [[J. S. Wilson]] introduced ''Scouting for Boys'' as a textbook in the Calcutta Police Training School. Colonel Wilson volunteered his services to the District Scout Commissioner, [[Alfred Pickford]], and in 1917 became Assistant Scoutmaster of the Old Mission Church Troop. Together the two struggled for the admission of Indian boys into the [[The Scout Association|Boy Scouts Association]], which had not been admitted due to a [[British Raj|Government of India]] order against it because "Scouting might train them to become revolutionaries". Shortly Wilson was acting as Cubmaster and Scoutmaster, and succeeded Pickford as District Commissioner in May 1919 when Pickford was promoted to Chief Scout Commissioner for India.

As a way of getting around the Government Order, the ''Boy Scouts of Bengal'' was founded, with identical aims and methods. Many separate Scout organizations began to spring up, the ''Indian Boy Scouts Association'', founded in 1916, based in [[Chennai|Madras]] and headed by Annie Besant and George Arundale; ''Boy Scouts of [[Mysore]]''; ''Boy Scouts of [[Vadodara|Baroda]]''; ''[[Nizam]]'s Scouts'' in [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad]]; ''[[Seva Samiti]] Scout Association'' (Humanity Uplift Service Society), founded in 1917 by Madan Mohan Malaviya and Hridayanath Kunzru and based in [[Allahabad]]; the aforementioned ''Boy Scouts of [[Bengal]]'' and likely others. A conference was held in Calcutta in August 1920 in which Wilson staged a Scout Rally, and as a result the [[Governor-General of India|Viceroy of India]] sent an invitation to [[Robert Baden-Powell|Lord Baden-Powell]], by then Chief Scout of the World, to visit India. Lord and [[Olave Baden-Powell|Lady Baden-Powell]] arrived in [[Mumbai|Bombay]] in late January 1921 for a short tour of the subcontinent before leaving Calcutta for [[Yangon|Rangoon]]. Alfred Pickford accompanied them and became one of their closest friends.

[[File:Boy Scouts Association in India.svg|thumb|140px|The emblem of the Boy Scouts Association in India–note modern Burma, Pakistan and Bangladesh are included in the map]]

The result of this visit was a union of all of the Scout organizations except the Seva Samiti Scout Association into '''The Boy Scouts Association in India'''. In 1922 Pickford returned to England and was appointed Overseas Commissioner of The Boy Scouts Association at their headquarters in London, but his aim of adding Indian boys into the program had been fulfilled.<ref>{{cite book | first = John S. | last = Wilson | author-link = J.

In 1938, a number of members left the Boy Scouts Association in India after a wave of nationalism. They formed – together with the Seva Samiti Scout Association and the newly founded ''India National Scout Association'' – the '''Hindustan Scout Association''', the first coeducational Scouting and Guiding organisation in India.<ref name="BSG-history1">{{cite web |title=The Bharat Scouts and Guides |url=http://www.scoutsnguides.com/html/Section2/Sec2_History.htm |publisher=scoutsnguides.com |access-date=13 January 2007 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070110215818/http://www.scoutsnguides.com/html/Section2/Sec2_History.htm  |archive-date = 10 January 2007}}</ref> In the same year, the Boy Scouts Association in India became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

===Girl Guides===
The first Girl Guides company was founded in [[Jabalpur]] in 1911 at [[Christ Church School]]. The movement immediately grew: In 1915, more than fifty companies existed with a membership of over 1,200, all of them directly registered with the [[Girlguiding UK|Girl Guide Association]] and all restricted to girls of European descent. These companies formed the '''All India Girl Guides Association''' in 1916. In the same year the organisation opened for Indian girls.<ref name="BSG-history2">{{cite web |title=About us |url=http://www.bsgindia.org/abouts.htm |publisher=The Bharat Scouts and Guides |access-date=13 January 2007 |archive-date=6 June 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070606093409/http://www.bsgindia.org/abouts.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Trefoil1997">{{cite book |last=World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts |title= Trefoil round the World|year=1997 |publisher=World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts |location=London |isbn=0-900827-75-0}}</ref>

[[J. S. Wilson]] provided transportation for Girl Guide rallies.
<blockquote>
The girls themselves were never quite sure whether they preferred to ride in police vans or in the riot truck. The former concealed them from public view, but were very hot; the latter, being cages of expanded metal, were cooler, but reminiscent of the [[Calcutta Zoo]]!
</blockquote>
In 1928, the ''All India Girl Guides Association'' joined the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts as one of its founder members. This membership was renewed in 1948 after the independence of India and its [[partition of India|partition]].<ref name="Trefoil1997"/>

===Bharat Scouts and Guides===
[[File:The Bharat Scouts & Guides National Headquarters, Delhi.jpg|thumb|220px|The Bharat Scouts and Guides National Headquarters, Delhi]]
In the first years after India's independence leading politicians, including [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], [[Maulana Abul Kalam Azad]] and [[Mangal Das Pakvasa]], as well as Scout leaders tried to unify India's Scouts and Guides. A first success was the merger of the ''Boy Scouts Association in India'' and the ''Hindustan Scout Association'' forming the Bharat Scouts and Guides on 7 November 1950. About a year later, on 15 August 1951, the ''All India Girl Guides Association'' joined this new organisation.<ref name="BSG-history2"/>

In 1959, the [[World Scout Conference|17th World Scout Conference]] in New Delhi was hosted by the BSG. The [[Sangam World Girl Guide/Girl Scout Center]] in [[Pune]], [[Maharashtra]], India, opened in 1966. The idea for this fourth [[World Centre (WAGGGS)|World Centre]] dates back to 1956 when it was developed during a WAGGGS International commissioners' meeting in [[New Delhi]].

The [[United Nations]] selected the Bharat Scouts and Guides as honorary "Peace Messengers" for their significant and concrete contributions to the [[International Year of Peace]] in 1986.

===Sethna's 18th West Bombay Scout Group===
'''Sethna's 18th West Bombay Scout Group''' is the [[Oldest Scout Groups|oldest continuously running Scout Group]] in India.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Group|date=21 October 2005|url=http://sethnas.org/the-group/|publisher=Sethna's 18th West Bombay Scouts|access-date=4 May 2012}}</ref> It was established in 1914, when Rustomji Edulji Sethna (1898–1954) came across the book ''[[Scouting for Boys]]'', written by Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout movement. He was enamoured by the book and formed one of India's first Scout groups for native boys. Prior to that, there existed some Scout groups, but they were primarily for the British expatriates in India.

Sethna resisted joining one of the competing Scout associations and registering his troop until Scouting became open for all irrespective of color, caste, or creed. He wrote to Baden-Powell about this discrepancy. In 1921 the regulations were changed and all were allowed to become part of the Scout movement in India. The 18th West has been continuously running since the day it started. None of the World Wars or the [[Partition of India]] stopped the group from functioning.

===Notable members===
[[Vivian Bose]] was a member of the [[World Scout Committee]] of the World Organization of the Scout Movement from 1947 until 1949.

In 1969, Mrs. [[Lakshmi Mazumdar]] was awarded the ''[[Bronze Wolf]]'', the only distinction of the [[World Organization of the Scout Movement]], awarded by the World Scout Committee for exceptional services to world Scouting.

==Program==
The association describes its aims in its mission:
:''The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law to help build a better world where people are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.''<ref name="BSG-misson">{{cite web |title=Mission statement |url=http://www.bsgindia.org/MISSION%20VISION.htm |publisher=The Bharat Scouts and Guides |access-date=13 January 2007 |archive-date=28 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928062700/http://www.bsgindia.org/MISSION%20VISION.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Scout and Guide units are separate although they have some coeducational activities such as Jamborees, rallies, and conferences. Differently-abled boys and girls also participate in the Scouting program.

The Scout emblem incorporates a wheel with twenty-four spokes, known as the ''Ashoka Chakra'', taken from the [[Pillars of Ashoka|Ashoka pillar]] at [[Sarnath]], in the [[green]]-and-[[Saffron (color)|saffron]] colors of the [[flag of India]].
