SCOUTS

SCOUTS

Scouts are the members of scout association. They serve as volunteers. The scout association is an international organization. It started in 1907 by lord Baden Powell, and Englishman. It has branches in almost all countries of the world. We have scout association in our country called Nepal boy and girls scout association. It is a member of the world scout association.

A national scout association has district associations. A district association has various troops under its jurisdiction. A troop again consists of 3 or 4 patrols. A patrol consists of a scout leader, and a troop is under the charge of a scout master. There are boys as well as girls scout. The scouts have a uniform of their own. Th
e boy scouts wear a shirt, a pair of shorts and a scarf. The Nepal scout puts on a black cap as well. The girl scouts are dressed up in a shirt, skirt and a cap. The scouts carry a whistle, a stick, a knife, a bag; a piece of rope and other things, a troop has a bugle or a drum with them. The scouts are given train by the scout teams and masters. They learn many things like swimming, first aids, cooking, signaling  and games. The scouts also promises to serve God and country. Their goal is service. They serve needy and distressed people, They learn and be discipline and public spirit. They should obey the 10 scout laws. They remain ever active and alert. Their motto is "always prepared”. They are not afraid with any kinds of work given to them. They are always ready to their leaders order. Heads high and soul purely dedicated to country they are ready to serve for the country even at their hardest time of their life.

 The scouts are very useful to community. They help the people in variously. They serve the distressed and wounded. They provides us first aid and treat the wounded to hospital. They help to off fire. They repair roads,clean roads, dams, bridges. They also go to the battle field to nurse. The first scouts were organized to nurse. They go in everywhere relief is needed. It is impossible to make a list of services. They are ready for any kind of service that is needed; the scouts gives feeling of brother hood. They go jamborees and rallies where they meet scouts from different countries and places. They takes part in common activities and programmers. The scout association of our country is not properly organized. It should be more active and its activities more extensive. There should be district associations in every part of our country. The activities of district associations should be properly organized and co-ordinate by the Nepal boy and girl scout association. The people of our country have not yet fully realized the importance of scouting; it should be made popular throughout the length and breadth of our country.

Most of the people still have no idea on what scouts really are. What are their uses, how can they help us, what are their services and what role are they playing to develop our country; not country actually the world. Each and every people should be given the knowledge on that. They should know how scouts have worked their hard to serve the country. People should know about their sacrifices and hard works. Programs on importance of scouts, their work should be done so that the world could know what they really are.
