I can remember this day when I first went for scout camp at Kurseong at
1999. From Howrah district of West Bengal, total 13 boys and 2 girls
went there. I became the fond of Scouting. My scout group name was Rishi
Aurobindo Scout Group. Then I went many camps some district level, state level,
group level. I became the organizer and trainer of the group. I got Rover
leader training (senior group of scout-age from 18 to 25 years) under Bharat
Scouts and Guide, at Ganganagar (West Bebgal District Scout camp site). I went
to Azimganj, Narit, Birnagar etc for scout camp and outing. Even my school The
Vivekananda Institution also became a camp site.
We every year make a grand celebration of 15th August, the Independence day of India. A colorful road rally of many pipe band teams, school teams, NCC, Civil Defense and many others sports teams and NGO groups join here. Thousands people join in this rally.
Every year we organize cultural program like Tagore birth ceremony, Bijoya Sammiloni (a get together after Duraga Puja); organize sports; Join in social service etc. Apart from these we join in 26th January Republican Day
parade and cultural ceremony organize by Howrah District magistrate office. This is also a competition, we several time win first prize in cultural program and parade.
From 2007 we change our group name and format. Now we are Rishi
Aurobindo Talent Group. But still we try to continue the chronicle of sports, culture
and service.
And I, I learn organization from this group. Leadership, Cultural performance,
program arrange, tour arrange, public speaking, speech etc. I learn from this
group. I got many good friend here, they are still with me-Rajendra Ghosh,
Kaustuv Mukherjee, Dibyendu Mukherjee etc. Rajendra or Rajen is my friend from
school life, and then he pushes me in this group. Rajen,s father Radha Gobindo
Ghosh is secretary of this group. He is a great organizer, we known him as
Bultuda. Now we are busy with our job so we can’t give too much time for this
group. But Bultuda still continue. He is main life of this group. I got friends
some older or younger than me, like Shibabrata Ghosh, Sanat Pyne, Bijit
Bannerjee, Abhijeet Bannerje or Shenkoda, Sovan Mukherjee, Sujoy Chakraborty,
Suvendu Nandi, Sarnendu Mukherjee and many others; And above all my respectable
Nilabrata Mukherjee and Basudeb Rit.
Every year we organize cultural program like Tagore birth ceremony, Bijoya Sammiloni (a get together after Duraga Puja); organize sports; Join in social service etc. Apart from these we join in 26th January Republican Day
parade and cultural ceremony organize by Howrah District magistrate office. This is also a competition, we several time win first prize in cultural program and parade.
Once Lord Baden Powel said, ''Once a Scout, Ever Scout''. In 2009 when for the First time I went to see B.P's house in London, I felt nostalgic, and it's a Dream for every Scout to visit the Holy House of Scouting. I am blessed by my parents, to visit that place.
