More Info
This poster by Raghubir Mulgaonkar, promotes Scout and Guide Week, organized by the Bharat Scouts and Guides in Bombay. It features a male and female guide saluting, with the Gateway of India in the background. The poster highlights the activities scheduled for the Scout and Guide week. The Bharat Scouts and Guides is a non-political, voluntary educational movement for young people. Founded in 1907 by Lord Baden Powell, a Major General in the British Army, the movement began with the first experimental camp on Brownsea Island in England, attended by 20 boys. Scouting arrived in India in 1909 with the formation of the first scout troop in Bangalore, which was later registered with the Imperial Headquarters in London. By 1911, the first guide company was formed in Jabalpur, and scouting spread across the country.
