SCOUTING and GUIDING IN INDIA
Though Scouting came to India in 1909, membership was open to only European and Anglo Indian Boys. In 1916, Dr. Annie Basant, established the Indian Boy Scout Association, in Madras and in 1917 Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya and Pandit Hridayanath Kunzuru assisted by Ram Bajpai established the Seva Samiti Scout Association in Allahabad. In 1938, the Seva Samiti Scout Association and newly formed Indian National Scout Association merged and formed the Hindustan Scout Association.

On 7th November 1950, the Boy Scout Association in India and the Hindustan Scout Association merged under the name of The Bharat Scouts and Guides. The Girl Guides Association of India merged with the Bharat Scouts & Guides on 15th August 1951.

Though the Scout wing and Guide wing are working together under the banner of The Bharat Scouts and Guides, the Scout wing is affiliated to WOSM and the Guide wing is affiliated to WAGGGS.
