MEMBERSHIP GROWTH

INTRODUCTION

The Scouting movement in India aims to create a better India in terms of better citizens and a better community through providing value-based and challenging youth programs for the youth. We keep focusing on the 360-degree development of youth in terms of spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental, and physical health. The Scout Guide Movement is one of the most prominent leading Educational Youth Movement. India is the 5th highest youth populous county, where around 522 million people are under 25years of age and considered youth. As of 2022, we have a male youth population of approximately 27 Crores, and our current Scout membership is 37 Lakhs in India. Still, we have a vast potential to reach 26.63 Crores untapped male youth. Looking toward this potential opportunity and organizational development,BSGMembershipGrowthPlancameintothepicture.

It is a dynamic 5years project plan with a clear vision supported by APR and funded by WOSMundertheMessengerofPeaceproject.

CONCLUSION

Due to the second wave of Covid all the schools and colleges were closed and initially we were facing problems to implement the project in the states. Our team tried their level best with the help of Regional Headquarters to implement the project and achieved the project objectives. Few of the activities we were not able to complete in time due to covid challenge but we conducted virtual programmes for our young members for their retention in the organisation as well as conducted virtual adult leaders training courses.
