Personally Speaking viuh ckr

I am happy to note that The Bharat Scouts and Guides has almost completed 72 years of service in our nationbuilding by activating the youth to prepare themselves as efficient citizens. To mark its entry into 73rd year, Foundation Day will be celebrated on 07th November, 2022.Thisistheoccasionforustoexpressourgratitudeto allourwell-wishersforpromotingScoutingandGuiding.It is also the occasion to recollect the significant efforts and sacrifice displayed by our Veteran Scout-Guide Leaders who gave a solid foundation to the future. I appeal to all the members of the movement to make it financially strong by contributing to the Bharat Scouts and Guides WelfareFund.

It is a Historic Moment for The Bharat Scouts and Guides thatourHon’blePrimeMinisterShriNarendraModiJiand our Guides Ms. Shruti Mehta and Ms. Rani Vaghela of Gujarat State Bharat Scouts and Guides got a great opportunity to travel in Ahmedabad Metro with him. Our guides honoured the Prime Minister with the Bharat Scouts and Guides Salute. They both had a very amazing conversation with the Prime Minister regarding the steps taken by the Bharat Scouts and Guides in Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and briefed him about Scouting Guiding Activitiesandrecentevents.

Recently, we observed the International Day of the Girl. This is the 10th Anniversary of the event. This year is a wake-up call to refocus attention on girls and solutions to their problems. Let us give them the opportunity to lead byputtingthemintheforefrontofactivities;hearingtheir voices; responding to their problems and welcoming them in decision-making spaces- it is one of the ways to investinthefuture.

IwishallourmembersaHappyFoundationDay(FlagDay).
