SANTRAGACHI, HOWRAH-711 104 OUR SCOUT GROUP The first troop of Vivekananda Institution Scouts Group was registered with the Boys Scouts association India on 17th September 1928. The managing committee believed that education as held by Swami Vivekananda is the manifestation of the qualities already in the man. Scouts echo the same objective of the man making in a practical form. Keeping with this view, the Scout movement was introduced in one of curricular subjects of the school. Scouting imparts knowledge to the boys apart from formal education, to make a good citizen, with a motto “Be Prepared”. To take apart in pulse Polio immunization programme, Road Safety Awareness programme, Anti Leprosy programme, to get exposure into adverse condition, to smile in difficulties, to take part in adventure life, making handicrafts, giving first aid, etc. The Scouts also take part in cultural programme like folk dance competition, Quiz competition, District level and State Level Competition, National Jamboree, World Jamboree. Since inspection the School Scout Group has been playing an important role in Swami Vivekanand’s Birth Day Ceremony, Rabindranath’s Birth Day Ceremony, Netaji’s Birthday Ceremony, Celebration of Independence Day and Republic Day etc. In the year of 1951, Scouts of the School were deputed as volunteer in the Parliament election of India. Scouts were rendered service in many occasions in Ramkrishna Vvekananda Ashram, Howrah and Belur Math. In every year Scouts camps are being held in different parts of the country. Every year, our Scouts receive Rajyapuraskar and Rashtrapati Scout Award, which is the highest award of the Scout Movement in India. In the year 1928 our Scout Group started with the Scout Master Saroj Ghosh and assisted by Sachindranath Banerjee and Niranjan Bose. In 1929 the second troop was registered under Khitin Bag, Scout Master. Scouter Ajit Kumar Saha, who joined the group in 1928 played a vital role in building Scout Movement of our School and continued till date in 2005. At present the Group has been functioning under the active guidance and supervision of G.L.S. and Headmaster Shri Sobhan Kumar Bera. The ex-scouts of this Institution have been working as Scoutmaster voluntarily. The Scout group celebrated its Diamond Jubilee year in 1990, in a befitting manner and celebrated of its 75 years existence in the movement in the year 2004. .
