Just like the Historical land of Sindh, the history of Sindh Boy Scouts is also quite old. The Scout movement in Sindh began long ago but gained momentum when Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout movement, made his first visit to the Indian subcontinent.
The building that houses the provincial headquarters of the Sindh Boy Scouts Association is ancient, boasting pleasing architecture and beauty. It was constructed by the renowned social worker Seth Cheetumal Subhraj and named Scouts Headquarters.
