Brief Information about origin of Scounting
Robert Stephenson Smyth
Baden Powell is known to millions by his magical initials -- "B.P.". B.P is founder of
the Boy Scout and Girl Guide movement.
He was born in London on the 22nd February 1857. During his childhood days B.P. enjoyed a good deal of freedom to go about
and learn things from themselves. This early up bringing gave B.P. The
real start for his future life as a soldiering.
Robert Baden-Powell (1857-1941), a soldier, artist, actor and free-thinker. Best known for his spirited defence of the small South African township of Mafeking during the Boer War, he was propelled to further fame as the Founder of Scouting.
In
1907 Baden-Powell held a camp on Brownsea Island in Poole, Dorset, to
try out his ideas and brought together 20 boys from a variety of
backgrounds. The success of the camp spurred him on to finish what
would become a classic book of the 20th century.
The first Scout rally, held in 1909 at The Crystal Palace in London, attracted 10,000 boys and a number of girls.
The program initially focused on boys aged 11 to 18, but as the movement grew, the need became apparent for leader training and programs for younger boys, older boys, and girls. The first Cub Scout and Rover Scout programs were in place by the late 1910s.
Girls wanted to become part of the movement almost as soon as it began. Baden-Powell and his sister Agnes Baden-Powell introduced the Girl Guides in 1910, a parallel movement for girls, sometimes named Girl Scouts. Agnes Baden-Powell became the first president of the Girl Guides when it was formed in 1910, at the request of the girls who attended the Crystal Palace Rally. In 1914, she started Rosebuds—later renamedBrownies—for younger girls. She stepped down as president of the Girl Guides in 1920 in favor of Robert's wife Olave Baden-Powell, who was named Chief Guide (for England) in 1918 and World Chief Guide in 1930.
Scouting was officially founded in British India in 1909, first starting at the Bishop Cotton Boys' School in Bangalore. Scouting for native Indians was started by Justice Vivian Bose, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, Pandit Hridayanath Kunzru, Girija Shankar Bajpai, Annie Besant and George Arundale, in 1913.
In 1916, a Cub section was started, followed by the Rover section in 1918.
In 1928, the All India Girl Guides Association joined the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts as one of its founder members.
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 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.

Robert Baden-Powell (1857-1941), a soldier, artist, actor and free-thinker. Best known for his spirited defence of the small South African township of Mafeking during the Boer War, he was propelled to further fame as the Founder of Scouting.
Inspired
during the siege by the initiative shown by boys under pressure,
Baden-Powell (BP) realised that young people had huge potential that
was often left untapped.
Already
thinking of developing a training programme for young people in
Britain, he was encouraged by friends to rewrite his handbook for
soldiers (Aids to Scouting) for this younger audience.
In
1906 and 1907 Robert
Baden-Powell,
a lieutenant
general in
the British
Army,
wrote a book for boys about reconnaissance and
scouting. Baden-Powell wrote Scouting
for Boys (London,
1908).
Scouting
for Boys was published in 1908 in six fortnightly parts at 4d a copy.
The first Scout rally, held in 1909 at The Crystal Palace in London, attracted 10,000 boys and a number of girls.
The program initially focused on boys aged 11 to 18, but as the movement grew, the need became apparent for leader training and programs for younger boys, older boys, and girls. The first Cub Scout and Rover Scout programs were in place by the late 1910s.

1920
was also the year of the first World Scout Jamboree. At London’s
Olympia, Scouts from across the world gathered to celebrate
international unity and the growth of their great Movement.

The
first Girl Guides company was founded in Jabalpur in
1911. 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 Girl
Guide Association and
all restricted to girls of European descent.
In 1928, the All India Girl Guides Association joined the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts as one of its founder members.
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.

The
movement employs the Scout
method,
a programme of informal education with an emphasis on practical
outdoor activities,
including camping, woodcraft, aquatics, hiking, backpacking,
and sports.
The
two largest umbrella organizations are the World
Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM),
for boys-only and co-educational organizations, and the World
Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS),
primarily for girls-only organizations but also accepting
co-educational organizations.

Guide Sign and Salute
The left-handed Scout handshake is a formal way of greeting other Scouts of both genders used by members of Scout and Guide organizations around the world when greeting other Scouts.
Colonel Baden-Powell saluted Ashanti tribe leader with his right hand, but the Ashanti chiefs offered their left hands and said, "In our land only the bravest of the brave shake hands with the left hand, because to do so we must drop our shields and our protection." The Ashantis knew of Baden-Powell's bravery because they had fought against him and with him, and they were proud to offer the left hand of bravery.
The three fingers remind us of three promises
The holding of little finger by thumb tells us that always a strong person should support weaker one.
