About Scouts & Guides
The Scouts & Guides is a voluntary, non-political movement for young people without any discrimination on origin, race or creed or sex. Founded in 1907 by Baden Powell, the Scouts & guides movement contributes to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual potentials to make them responsible citizens and members of their local, national and international communities.
Scouting was founded in India in 1909 as an overseas branch of the Scout Association and became a member of the World Organization of Scout Movement in 1938. Guiding in India started in 1911. The Bharat Scouts are divided into four sections based on the age as: Bunnies (Age 3-5), Cubs (Boys aged 5-10), Scouts (Boys aged 10-17), Rovers (Boys aged 15-25) and the Bharat Guides are divided into Bulbuls (Girls aged 5-10), Guides (Girls aged 10-17) and Rangers (Girls aged 15-25). At present, there are 63160 Scouts and 74918 Guides in Kerala alone. The Scout & Guide motto is: “Be prepared“.
Higher Secondary School (HSS) Unit
The Scouts & Guides unit of Higher Secondary section of the school was started on 6th August 2014. Each year 16 boys and 16 girls are enrolled in the HSS Unit of Scouts & Guides. The school unit had the privilege to host the district-level inaugural ceremony of Scouts & Guides HSS units of Mavelikkara Educational district. Sri. Sakkir Hussain, the State Secretary of Scouts & Guides was the Chief Guest.
The members of the unit are actively involved in community projects as campaigns against Alcohol addiction, Drug & Narcotics use and Internet abuse. They initiated and carried forward the campaigns for Plastic Free Society, Environmental Protection and National Integration. Such campaigns are usually considered for the award of the Chief Minister’s Shield. The top performers are eligible for grace marks @ HSS examinations and are awarded ‘Nanmamudra’ certificates.
