After the attainment of Swaraj in 1947 all the differences that existed previously between the different Associations disappeared. The Boy Scout Association in India and Hindustan Scout Association merged themselves on 7th November 1950 under the name of the Bharat Scouts and Guides.
The Girl Guides Association in India, which all along functioned as a separate organization for girls, also joined the Bharat Scouts and Guides on 15th August 1951. "The Bharat Scouts and Guides" is thus the only Scout Association in India recognized by the Government both at the center and the states functioning both for boys and girls.
The Bharat Scouts and Guides is the only Association in India having International reorganization. The Scout section is registered with the World Scout Bureau and the Guide section a full member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
