Vice-President Calls Upon Young People to Join Scout and Guide Movement 

 

The Vice-President of India Shri Mohd. Hamid Ansari presented the ‘Upa-Rashtrapati Awards’ to outstanding Rovers and Rangers for playing useful role in serving the community and the Scout & Guide Movement at a function here today. These awards were instituted in 1994 for taking up concrete community service and community development projects and Merit certificates and shields to the competition winning units are awarded on an All India level.

 

Addressing the Rovers and Rangers the Vice-President said that Mahatama Gandhi’s prayer was that there should be one ranger or guide in every household and that target is still too far. The Scout & Guide Movement in the country has to go a long way in convincing more and more young people to join it as it is a Movement which is totally national and serving the people. This Movement has been promoted by all national leaders.

 

The Vice-President said that the Scout and Guide Movement unifies India and the message should go out- ‘more and more boys and girls should come and join this Movement’. He felicitated the award winning Rovers and Rangers and wished them all success.

 

For the year 2006-07 Rani Chennama Ranger Team Shield and Merit Certificate were given to Karnataka and Govt. College Rajgarh Rover Crew Shield and Merit Certificate were given to Rajasthan. For the year 2005-06 Swamiji Rover Crew Shield and Merit Certificate were given to Eastern Railway and Shahid Bhagat Singh Rover Crew Shield and Merit Certificate were given to Maharashtra.
