-Robert Baden-Powell

“A week of camp life is worth six months of theoretical teaching in the meeting room.”

As Indians, we take immense pride in the accomplishments of our space scientists, particularly in the success of Chandrayaan-3. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has rightfully acknowledged this achievement by designating August 23 as National Space Day in India. As we celebrate these milestones, we encourage our scouts and guides to foster an interest in the eld of Science, potentially even pursuing careers as scientists while continuing their dedicated servicetothenation.

Congratulations to all the participants and leaders of TheBharatScouts andGuides whoproudlyrepresented India at the recently concluded World Scout Jamboree in South Korea. Being a part of the Scouts and Guides movement offers a remarkable opportunity for young individuals to engage at the international level. The advantages are truly invaluable and there opportunitiesshould.

On September 8th, World Literacy Day serves as a signicant reminder of the essential nature of literacy, not only as a matter of personal dignity but also as a fundamental human right. Additionally, this day emphasizes one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), highlighting the pivotal role literacy plays in establishing the groundwork for societies that are both sustainable and peaceful. Scouts and Guides have a vital role to play in aiding communities where literacy is a challenge. Contributing by donating old books to community libraries can signicantly impact those who struggle with reading and writing, promoting education andempowerment.

Withwarmregards,

DR. ANIL KUMAR JAIN

The Bharat Scouts and Guides

The successful touchdown of Chandrayaan-3 on the lunar surface underscores humanity's ability to overcome challenges, demonstrating that the boundaries of achievement are boundless. Our adept utilization of articial intelligence to control the rover 'Pragyaan' is a testament to our progress. Our Indian scientists deserve our pride and admiration.

A delegation from the Bharat Scouts and Guides attended the 38th World Conference convened in Cyprus. The delegation engaged actively in advocating for the candidacy of Ms. Anar Patel for the World Board. Additionally, they presented and addressed inquiries regarding the proposed motions put forth by the BSG. The BSG is set to host the inaugural World Guide Jamboree and aims to assemble a diverse array of members to contribute to the various sub-committees. A notable accolade was bestowed upon the Kadiyali Open Group from Karnataka state, as they received the esteemed Olave Award in recognition of their exceptional community service. I am delighted to declare that preparations are underway for The First World Guide Jamboree scheduled for 2025, and it is incumbent upon us all to muster oureffortsinensuringitssuccessfulorganization.

A substantial representation of our scouts and guides, led by dedicated leaders, showcased India's presence at the recent World Jamboree in South Korea. The meticulous organization's efforts to relocate numerous participants to secure locations amidst an unprecedented natural disaster exemplify their dedication, ensuring safety and happiness. I extend my congratulations to our Scouts and Guides for their impressive resilience and discipline on an international stage,yingourIndianagwithhonor.

The upcoming celebration of the 68th Pachmarhi Day on September 10th, The National Training Centre holds signicance, established in 1956 the center has been pivotal in imparting diverse training to scout and guide members, equipping them with skills from the grassroots level upwards. I encourage all trainers to acquaint our youth with the splendor of Pachmarhi and lead the scouts and guides on an enriching journey.

The spirit of Scouts, Guides, Rovers, and Rangers should persevere in their activities under the banner of Messengers of Peace, as the pursuit of peace stands as our ultimate objective. Let us commemorate the International Day of Peace on September 21st, aligning with the theme 'Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the #Global Goals.' This theme reminds us of the power that lies within our individual and collective actions to foster global harmony. I anticipate each member of our movement to channel their efforts towards advancing worldwide peace.

I take pride to declare that our members, proudly representing India at the World Scout Jamboree held in South Korea, have truly showcased their discipline on the international stage. Gratitude extends to all states and the parents of these dedicated scouts and guides for their encouragement towards participation in such signicant and historic events. Our aspiration is to offer abundant opportunities to the youth to take part in international gatherings, fostering the development of self-condence, leadership skills and effective communication.

Nature inherently maintains global temperatures within a range conducive to our well-being. Unfortunately, human activities are currently contributing to a global temperature increase of approximately 1 1 degrees Celsius. Though the gure might appear modest, its repercussions are beyond imagination. The National Headquarters of the Bharat Scouts and Guides in partnershipwithUNICEFrecentlyconcludedaseven-day workshop aimed at curating a module of comprehensive set of activities, coupled with a document focusing on Climate Change. This workshop has outlined an array of activities that can be embraced by individuals to addressthechallengesofClimateChange.

A group from the Bharat Scouts and Guides went to the 38th World Conference held in Cyprus. They actively supported Ms. Anar Patel's candidacy for the World Board. They also talked about and answered questions about the ideas BSG proposed. The BSG is going to organize the very rst World Guide Jamboree and wants a diverse group of members to help with different parts of the planning. The Kadiyali Open Group from Karnataka state received a special award, the Olave Award, for their great community work. I'm happy to tell you that we're getting ready for The First World Guide Jamboree in 2025, and we all need to work together to make it a success.
