Scouting began in England in 1907 based upon B.P.’s ideas and the book “ Scouting for Boys”.
The founder of the movement is ROBERT STEPHENSON SMYTH BADEN POWELL was born 6th Stanpole Street
Lancaster Gate, London(England) on 22.02.1857 . His father Herbert George Baden Powell ( Professor of
geometry at Oxford) and mother Henerietta Grace Smyth (daughter of British Admiral W.T. Smyth). B.P. father
died in 1860, When B.P. was about three years old leaving behind his mother with seven children, all under
fourteen years of age . B.P. was first admitted to a Dame School in Kensington, 1870 he entered the Charter
House School in London . At the age of 19 in B.P. graduated from Charter house and appeared for the Army
Selection Examination . He was entered the MILITARY service and held the post of Captain in the year 1883 in
the age of 26 . In 1888 B.P. got a promotion as Brevet Major .
The idea of Scouting came to B.P.’s mind from Mafe King war of South Aftrica . The war continued for
217 days from October 1899 to 17th May 1900 . With much courage and effort B.P. Conquered the war against
BOERS inhabitants of MafeKing a small town in the heart of Sout Aftrica . During the war time B.P. engaged
some small young boys to carry the messages, delivered the letters, distributing food packets etc. Seeing their
voluntary work .
In the year 1907 (from 29th July to 09th August)12 days B.P. hold a Camp at Brown Sea Island in Pearl
Harbour in the English Channel Dorset taking 20 boys having four patrols . It was first experimental camp . It
was a successful camp . After this camp and publication of Scouting for Boys in the year 1908 , the Scout
movement spread all over England .
Scouting in America was started by the action of one English Boy-Scout in London in 1909 . The Scout
offered to show the way to a gentleman as his good turn for the day . When the gentle man offered to pay
something in return the Scout said “No. Thank you Sir, I am a Scout”. “A Scout, What is that ?” asked the
gentleman as he had never heard of Scouts . He questioned the boy and finally paid a visit to Scout
Headquarters in London and learned all about Scouts. He was an American . He went back to America with
his tale of the wonderful Brotherhood of Scouts who were ready to do good turns to any one needs help,
but they would take no reward for doing them . The idea caught quickly in America & Troops sprang up all
over the United States of America .

PATROL SYSTEM
If B.P. had given anything else except patrol system, his name would not have been
immortal among the great men of the world . “Patrol System” is pivot around which the
whole programme of Scouting revolves . It is the key to the success of Scouting- Guiding
as a boy/girl movement .
The Scoutmaster/ Guide Captain , the patrol leader and the patrol are three main
ingredients which constitute “patrol system” the three are inseparable and unbreakable
links of the chain i.e “Scouting”/ “ Guiding”. A keeps the patrol so, knit together in the
chain of the Troop that they always realize identity of the unit as a whole, though
working in a separate patrol .
Scoutmaster/ Guide Captain acts as the elder brother being always thoughtful,
attentive, considerate and kind to patrol members . He tactfully handles their mistakes
keeping keen eyes on them .
“Go & work” like wise patrol leaders while taking work from his/her comrades . He
/She uses the code word “come let us work” not Go & work” .
Scoutmaster / Guide Captain may appoint them temporarily keeping in view their seniority of age
and merit in Scouting .
(b) First convince the Head of Institution and after getting approval follow the procedure . as noted
below –
Another way is to select six to eight boys/ girls of age 13-15 or so, who are known to you and who
may be able to give leadership to others . Train them in Scout / Guide Tests, invest them when they
qualify the Pravesh badges and keep on training them till they qualify for Pratham Sopan, Dwitiya
Sopan and Tritiya Sopan Badges . When they qualify Pratham Sopan let them select and roll 6 to 8
boys / girls as member of their respective patrols with two of them as patrol leaders and two of
them seconds . Now three or four patrols get organized thus giving birth to the Scout Troop / Guide
Company .
Organise Troop meetings / Company meeting at least once a week and give the boys /girls
games and interesting programmes including sScout Craft make use of ” Scouting for Boys” as best
as you can . Apply for registration of your Scout Troop/ Guide Company with the District
Association of your area on proper forms along with the required registration fees etc. at District
Headquarters . Soon you will get charter (for Scout Troop/ Guide Company) & Warrant ( for Scout
Master/ Guide Captain ) or Recognition from the State Headquarters .
HOW TO RUN A SCOUT TROOP/GUIDE COMPANY
Lord Baden Powell clearly said that patrol system is the only method in Scouting . So
always carefully use the Patrol System for betterment of the Troop/ Company .
Your Patrol Leaders should always a head of all the other members in the patrols in Scout
craft and should lead their patrols in games and other such activities . Always conduct patrol leaders
meet (Second can be included) once in a week or at least once in two weeks to give training in
advance . This can be done at the end of the Court-of-Honour(COH) .Patrols must have their regular
meetings .
The Scoutmaster / Guide Captain plan in advance the programme of Troop Meeting / Company
meeting keeping in view the progressive advancement of the members in Scout Crafts . The interest
and aptitudes of the boys must be taken care of typical Troop Meeting/Company Meeting as given

CARE OF A ROPE
A rope has its life span . It gets worn out as time passes by when we put it to use . If it is misused or
neglected, it will be worn out earlier than its proper economic rate . Here are some do’s and dont’s.
The ends of rope should be protected with whipping or splicing .
Keep the cordage safe from rats & mice .
If wet, dry it and store.
Store in an even temperature.
Before storing remove knots & muds if any .
Don’t drag the rope on the ground (as far as possible) on the Mud as the strands will weaken
the rope .
Before using a new rope strain it .
Strain a rope before putting it to use so that the Kinks are straightened and the give is stretched
Dry the ropes well before storing , It is always good to keep the ropes stored in the store in the
Sun periodically .
Ropes are to be properly coiled, hanged labeled and hung to the rope hangers not touching the
wall .
Rope meant for bridge building, life saving etc. label it showing the length and circumference .
Artificial drying near fire-on, gas etc. are harmful to ropes .
Any moisture left inside the rope gives birth to MILDEW a fungus that decays the rope .
Ends of a rope should always be whipped or spliced correctly .
When whipping is given away in use put a stopper knot (Example – thumb knot or figure of eight
knot) or a sheep shank where a rope has become frayed .
Wrong knots weaken the ropes more .
Never allow a rope to touch more .
If a longer rope is used in the place of shorter one coil the remaining hank one it and tie it to the
spar/ rope closely .
Avoid permanent knots on rope i.e after use knots if any should be removed before storing .
Faulty ropes should not be used for bridge building, life saving etc .
ROPE WORK
Rope is very useful articles for Scout / Guide activities. The strength of the rope depends upon the
material used for its make . For Example Manila rope is more stronger than the cotton rope . It is also named
according to circumference of the rope size) e.g.1 “ rope, 2” rope etc . Thin rope used to lash poles is known
as lashings.
Parts of rope :-
There are two parts - running end and standing part . The end which is used to tie is known
as running end and the other part is known as standing part .
Term used relating to ropes
1. Overhand loop 2. Underhand loop 3. Half hitch
4. Hitch-To make a hitch an object is necessary. Hitch is a closed loop on a rope or on a pole or peg .
Hitch is to be secured .
5. Bend ( Eg. Sheet bend) . Bending of cloth rope to tie knot .
6. Bight – An open Loop on a rope
7. Frapping – The binding together of a rope on Lashing between poles .
8. Haul – The act of pulling a rope to a side .
9. Anchored – Fastened to any immovable object such as large tree, post or picket well driven in to
ground .
10.Reeve –The act of threading of rope through pulley or blocks .
Knots are made , not tied .
A Hitch is a method of making a rope fast to another rope or object, and is incomplete in it self .
A Bend is a method of joining ropes together .
Knots, bend and hitches can be used :-
(a) To join ( reef knot , sheet bend, fisherman’ knots etc .)
(b) To make fast ( clove hitch, Round turn and two half-hitches, rolling hitch, fisherman’s bend)
(c) To make fast for quick release ( highwayman’s or draw hitches)
(d) To strengthen a weak rope ( sheepshank)
(e) To shorten( sheep shank)
(f) To attach (cats paw, lark head)
(g) To slip ( running bowline)
(h) To slip and grip (figure of eight, guy line hitch)
(i) To make non-slip loops(bowline in end of rope, man harness , etc.)
(j) To act as sheave ( harvester’s hitch)
(k) To act as temporary stopper to prevent rope un laying or prevent free end from running through
Block ( figure of eight).
(l) To act as brake ( tar buck a climber’s knot generally used in Nylon rope)
Most knots can be made slippery ( I.e. slip reef) by finishing with bight .
When teaching knotting, immobilize the standing part so that it can not be used .
LASHING
To calculate length of lashings required : take diameter of larger spar in inches and call it fathoms, thus, 6
inches diameter . would required 6 fathoms of lashing . Allow more for figure of eight lashing.)
To determine size of lashing, diameter of larger spar in feet gives diameter of lashing in inches : thus , 6 inches
diam. Spar would require ½ inch diameter . Lashing ( roughly 1/3 inches circumstances) .
“ Warp thrice, Frap twice”
Method of Similar Triangles:- Pick out a point A on the near bank just opposite a tree X
on the opposite bank & drive a stake in the ground . At right angles to the imaginary line
across the river make a base line AB any convenient length (say 40 paces) . Here drive
another stake into the ground . Continue along in the same direction for 40 paces of AB.
Mark this point C and drive another stake there . At point C , turn at right angles and
walk inland until point B and the distant tree are in one line . Now you are at D, let us
suppose . Measure the line CD . This will give you the width of River . XAB and DCB are
similar triangles . DC=AX.
MAP MAKING:- The construction of maps from data supplied by surveyor or investigations .
The science of map making is known as CARTOGRAPHY and he who practices CARTOGRAPHY
is called CARTOGRAPHER .
Maps have “ FIVE DIMENSIONS”, They are referred to as the five D’s of map reading .
1- DESCRIPTION 2- DIRECTION 3- DISTANCE 4- DEMARCATION 5- DESIGNING
1-DESCRIPTION :- Description of the map is found in its margin .
The type of material at the Right Top Margin contains the name of the main features on the
map- a town or some other prominent location .
Down at the bottom of the map are some dates of important to you as a map user .
The following information, general character is always shown at the margins of all maps,
which must be carefully studied .
(1) Name of the Sheet (2) Scale (3) North (4) Altitudes (5) Reference Numbers
(6)Legend or map symbols (Conventional signs) (7) Date of publication and survey
(8) Longitude and Latitude (9) Area covered by the map in square Kilometers .
2- DIRECTION :- North shown on the top right hand side and magnetic variation . The top of
a map sheet is usually the north of the place . A quick glance at a map will show you the
relative direction in which any point lies from any other point .
3-DISTANCE :- The scale is given at the bottom of the map . The scale of a map is the ratio
between the distance of two points on the map and their corresponding distance on the
ground . The scale may be expressed in “words” , such as centimeters to Kilometers or one
inch to Mile .
4- DEMARCATION:- Map gives the nature of the country . To show feature of the earth’s
surface by suitable signs called symbols on a map or conventional signs . Conventional signs
are usually simple and bear close resemblance with the features they depict . Conventional
signs used in the map are explained at bottom of the map itself .
1- DESIGNING :- Maps enable us to know the names of the different features and name of
places, name of rivers, towns, mountains , seas and so on easily .
SCALE :- Scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the
corresponding distance on the ground . For example, on a 1 cm on the map equals 1 km on
the ground or more at a particular ratio .
CONVETIONAL SIGNS :- The various features of the ground are depicted on maps by
standardized symbols or signs called conventional signs . Conventional signs in India are
designed by the Survey of India .
To give maximum information in the Map, in a simple, clear and with a close resemblance of
all the features of the ground . Helps recognize readily the features / objects , to pin point
the position of the objects .
Colours :- To distinguish between various objects, various colours are used for conventional
signs. It is broadly classified as here under ;-
BLUE : Water features RED : Roads, Building, Villages, Bridges & all Artificial features
YELLOW : Cultivation land GREEN : Vegetation BROWN : Raised land VIOLETE /PINK : Grid
lines BLACK : Railway lines, Telephone line, Embankments, Cuttings, Boundaries
It is useful to Scouts/Guides/Rovers/Rangers to plan & programme i.e Hikes, Camps and all
other Scout/Guide activities .
CONTOURS :- Contour lines are imaginary (Brown) line which run through places of equal
height above mean Sea-level . The highest point of the PEAK is indicated by a point a
TRIANGLE with the figure denoting the height .The contours are drawn of regular
interval like 50 feet, 100 ft. or 20 meters apart . This distance is known as vertical Interval or
(V.I).
GRID REFRENCE :- Grid is a net work of squares, superimposed on a map . Intersection of a
square at Southwest corner is the origin of a Grid . One of the meridians is taken as the base
for the grid .
Verticals of a grid are called Easting (South to North)
Horizontal of a grid are called Northing ( West to East )
While giving a grid reference Easting are mentioned first and Northing next .
Grid reference is given in two figures (22,23,24,25)
Four figures (2230, 2334,2437,2541)
Six figures ( 224306, 235347, 246379, 252414)
Grid system helps in locating any object easily and quickly .
GPS MAP
To detect GPS position information, a system must be able to receive signals from at
least three satellites . In car navigation systems, the GPS antenna and GPS receiver serve to
receive signals from these satellites .
Cell phones contain low-power transmitters that let them communicate with the
nearest tower. Even without a GPS receiver, your Cell phone can provide information about
your location . A computer can determine your location based on measurements of your
signal, such as its angle of approach to the cell towers .
It is generally the last part of the day’s programme in a camp . It is the occasion where
activities are presented by the Scouts & Guide beside fire inspiring every body with the
purpose of providing recreation as well as Education . Every Scout & Guide should be made
to contribute something to the programme .
