FROM EDITOR'S DESK laiknd dh dye ls Lord Baden Powell conceived the idea of scouting to build a strong fundamental for a “Nation with Character”. His famous book “Scouting for Boys” he referred as “A HANDBOOK FOR INSTRUCTION IN GOOD CITIZENSHIP THROUGH WOOD CRAFT”. While referring to the role of Adults, he referred to it as Adult guidance and supervision. Therefore, Scouting is essentially a game for youth under Adult guidance. Recent news, reports appearing in various public media is shocking and perturbing. Adult in Scouting are getting undue publicity for wrong reasons. We organise large gathering for youth, do service in Community. We help people at risk during natural and manmade disasters; media ignores all good deeds of youth. Why we are in news for wrong reasons? It needs introspection volunteers in scouting are backbone provided that they are not for “PERSONAL GAINS”. Let us pray wisdom prevails. Director

RELEVANCE OF

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA'S MESSAGE TO THE WORLD SCOUTING

eptember of every year is very significant for our youth in the movement for two reasonsone being celebration of Pachmarhi Day on 10th. 61 years ago, Pachmarhi was selected as the training centre by our leaders and today, it has been flourishing as the place for Indian Trainers; second being the historic speech made by Swami Vivekananda, the great monk, the mentor and the great leader of the youth at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago on 11th September in 1893. If we analyze his address, Scout movement has adopted his message to prepare the Youth all over the world to build up peace and fraternity. Even after 125 years of his inspiring and motivational address, the message stands applicable to the y o u t h i n p a r t i c u l a r. S w a m i Vivekananda was a bit nervous when he rose up to address the august gathering; but he prayed for the blessings of the Goddess of Learning, Saraswati. This draws our attention to faith in God. In a few moments, he felt as if he gained energy to speak and opened his eyes to address the audience as `Sisters and Brothers of America`. Immediately, there was a standing ovation from the gathering continuously for two minutes as that style of address was never heard. Indeed, that was the creative mind of Swamy. It gave the world the message to respect women.

The 9/11 of 1893 was about love, harmony and brotherhood. If the world had remembered these words, the terrorist attack on World Trade Centre would not have taken place. It is a coincidence that the terrorist attack had taken place on 11th September which was the date of historic address by Vivekanand. Swami Vivekanand cited in his address that rituals will not connect an individual to divinity except service to fellow men. So, youth should live with the poor, the depressed, the illiterate and make them dignified men. Then they will get the blessings of all these people before they begin their life in the world. Scouting provides a number of opportunities for service right from the age of 5+. In his address he stressed on intolerance and hatred as barriers for establishing world Peace. We campaign as Messengers of Peace and our Scouts, Guides, Rovers and Rangers have been actively participating in this activity. Vivekananda strongly believed in the power of "Yuva Shakti' (youth power) and saw a vital place for youngsters in the realm of nationbuilding. The virtues of love, brotherhood, tolerance, loyalty to our nation are to be developed by the youth to prepare themselves as healthy partners of nation building. Narendra, as he was originally known, made the world to learn brotherhood for the first time. The idea of brotherhood conveys to

treat all men equal without caste, creed, religion or region. The Founder, Lord Baden Powell must have followed every word of Swamy Vivekananda`s addresses and after fourteen years of Chicago Addresses, Scouting has emerged with a strong foundation of Law and Promise to shape the character of the youth. Vivekanand`s inspiring words:”Men, men, these are wanted: everything else will be r e a d y, b u t s t r o n g, v i g o r o u s, believing young men, sincere to the backbone are wanted. A hundred such and the world becomes revolutionized” calls upon the youth to build modern India by developing creativity and skills. Change is a sign of development and youth should develop new i d e a s. S c o u t i n g g i v e s m a n y activities to develop this creativity. As B.P. said badges and certificates are a sign of recognition but the reality is in working for them sincerely in a honest way.
