Madam/ Sir,

 

            It is a great pleasure to inform you that the Hon’ble President of India has kindly agreed to present Rashtrapati Scouts/Guides/Rovers/Rangers Certificates on 23rd September 2009 at 11.00 Hours at the Rashtrapati Bhawan for the years 2007-08 and 2008-09. The Ceremony will take place at the Ashoka Hall in Rashtrapati Bhawan.

 

            The awards for Adult Leaders Like Sliver Elephant, Bar to Silver Star, Sliver Star , Gallantry and Thanks Badge will also be presented in the same function.

 

            Since the seating capacity is limited it has been decided to call a limited number of Scouts, Guides, Rover and Ranger from each State who participated in the Scout/Guide/Rover/Ranger Award Competition in the years 2007-08 and 2008-09. In any case the number of Participants in the Rally should not be more than the number mentioned here under. The participants should preferably be chosen from  both the years for which the Awards are being given.

            States are at liberty to set their own criteria for selecting the Representative Award winners belonging to the two years mentioned above. The Scouts and Guides from each state will be accompanied by an Adult Leader either from Scout wing or Guides wing, who should be chosen very carefully keeping in view the fact that one Leader will have the responsibility for escorting participants from Scout wing as well as the Guide wing. It may further be ensured that Scouts/Guides, Rovers, Rangers being sent by you should be actual Awardees for the above two years and no one should be sent who is not an Awardee for either of the two years. If any non Awardee is sent, he/she will not be allowed in the Rally Camp and the Award function.

 

The Certificate awardees and adult leader accompanying them should be in their complete and correct uniform and are expected to demonstrate high sense of discipline during the Rally and the Award function.

            Since certificates for Scouts and Guides for the years 2007-08 and 2008-09 have already been sent to most states on their specific request, you are requested to ensure that the Scouts/Guides coming to attend the function are given a bundle of at least _20_Certificates (10 each for Scout and Guides respectively including the certificates of Scouts and Guides being sent to receive the Certificates at the function). Similar action needs to be taken in respect of Rovers and Rangers Certificates in case of those states who had requested for the certificates to be sent to them.

 

            Thanking you,

   Yours Sincerely,
