Explanation
The Seva Samiti Boy Scouts Association was founded in 1914 by Shri Ram Bajpai in Bombay. While scouting in India was initially restricted to British and foreign scouts, Bajpai established this association on the lines of the Baden-Powell model to include Indian boys. He was supported in his efforts by leaders like Madan Mohan Malaviya and Hriday Nath Kunzru, who later founded the Seva Samiti Scout Association in Allahabad around 1917. Annie Besant also played a significant role in the movement by forming the Indian Boy Scouts Association in 1916, based in Madras. Eventually, these various indigenous scouting organizations, including Bajpai's Seva Samiti Boy Scouts, merged with other groups to form the Hindustan Scout Association in 1938.
