The official Hindustan Scouts & Guides West Bengal State Unit has issued an important public clarification regarding its authorization and status within the national scouting organization structure.
The clarification clearly states that any group calling itself “Hindustan Scouts & Guides, West Bengal Association” without proper documentation is not an authorized unit of the National Council of Hindustan Scouts & Guides Association. Specifically, it addresses misinformation being spread through a Facebook page operated by an individual previously removed from authority in 2019 for fraudulent activities.
According to the statement, the unauthorized page has no valid paperwork, no official state authorization, and no legitimate state website, and therefore cannot represent the scouting movement in West Bengal.
The official State Unit of Hindustan Scouts & Guides West Bengal is recognized as having valid documentation to operate under national authority and is acknowledged by the relevant governing bodies with proper acceptance. The authorized unit is connected to the official website hsgawb.org and maintains an active Facebook presence recognized by the organization.
The clarification confirms that Shri Suman Mondal is the sole Authorized State Secretary of the legitimate State Unit, which operates with official authorization and recognition from higher authorities. This measure is intended to protect the integrity of scouting in West Bengal, ensure authentic representation, and prevent misinformation from misleading students, volunteers, and the community.
