Posted by Mithlesh Saini

Imagine what happens when over 18,000 boys and girls dressed in their best gather at one place in a small village. The serene environs of the village suddenly get electric and come alive in a jiffy. This is what happened at Shankerpalli, a small village in Ranga Reddy district on Tuesday after the Bharat Scouts and Guides 16th National Jamboree commenced with a theme “Disciplined Youth – Nation's Pride.” The objective of jamboree is to inculcate universal brotherhood among cadets and provide them a platform to learn more and share experiences. Over 18,000 Bharat Scouts and Guides from across the country and nearly 100 from overseas participated in the inaugural session. Holding national flags and raising slogans of “Jai ho”, the Scouts and Guides came up with a scintillating performance that depicted national integrity.
Governor E.S.L Narasimhan was the chief guest, while M. P.'s Governor P. Rameshwar presided over the function. Both the Governors received the guard of honour from the Scouts and Guides. Loud cheers from participants welcomed each contingent, as it made its way to the saluting base. But the cynosure of the event was the jamboree song “Tela Tellavare” that was specially organised by A.P. continegnt of Bharat Scouts and Guides. Addressing on the Scouts and Guides, Governor E.S.L Narasimhan said such a huge gathering of cadets portrayed a mini-India. This gathering was a good example of unity in diversity and it was important to preserve national integrity, the Governor pointed out. “Scouts and Guides should be made mandatory in schools. Each contingent should adopt a village and serve people. They should educate them, create health awareness and make villagers self-sufficient,” he said. Madhya Pradesh Governor P. Rameshwar Thakur said Scouting was not just membership but commitment of service to the community.
