Dear Sir/Madam,

 

It has been observed that certain states are registering huge number of Rashtrapati Scouts & Guides/Rovers & Rangers. Testing Camps and quality and other important Rules like running of a unit, Advancement of Scouter/Guider, progressive stages and syllabus of Boy/Girl programme is not being co-related and coordinated in order to the requirement to appear in the Rashtrapati Scouts/Guides Testing Camps. Even untrained and less trained unit leaders who are not eligible for training  in the skills and knowledge involved in preparation for Rashtrapati Scouts/Guides are allowed to train Rashtrapati  Scouts & Guides. Keeping in view the above mentioned facts – State level Executive Meet held  from 14 –16  April 2007 and planning committee has made the following recommendations; in order to maintain the quality of Rashtrapati Scouts/Guides, Rovers/Rangers which should be thoroughly considered before filling applications for registration for the Rashtrapati Scout/Guide, Rover/Ranger Test.
