About Our Group
On 10th July 1921, when monsoon compelled everybody to take shelter, A young enthusiastic man, Rustom Dinshaw Talati, gathered around him eight young boys and began teaching then the rudiments of Scouting. Thus the 8th Bombay was established, now known as – 8TH EAST BOMBAY TALATIS SCOUT GROUP. It is indeed a tribute to the leadership, enthusiasm and capacity for hard work on the part of the founder of our Group – Rustom Dinshaw Talati, that the 8th Bombay once established,never looked back, but true to its motto ‘Go Ahead’ , always forged ahead.
Within a short span of three years of our Group’s existence, it suffered a shattering blow in the sad demise of the founder on 3rd December 1924. Thereafter, from 1924, the group was nurtured by Scouter Ardeshir Homavazir, who was a close associate of the founder. He continued running the Troop till 1952. The Group was extended to include Cubs and Rovers during his tenure.
From 1952, the Group came under the leadership of Dr. Naval Dordi until 1968, when he chose to migrate to Canada with his family.
Our Founder: Rustom Dinshaw Talati
Scouter Pheroze Engineer was then appointed the Group Leader in 1968 and he carried the baton for over 3 decades, leading the group with great dedication and resolve. Under his leadership, the Group progressed in leaps and bounds. His strategy and direction raised the standard of the Group, as the group became one of the most prominent and leading groups in the East Bombay District.
In 1986, A Guide Group was sponsored by Talati’s Scout Group with the assistance of the Niece of the Founder – Ms. Banoo Talati.
With the demise of Scouter Pheroze Engineer in 1999, Scouter Rohinton Patel picked up the baton as Group Leader. His influence, dedication and inspiration kept the Scout Group focussed on the goals and motivated the group to do their best to achieve the goals. The achievements of the group would be in volumes if one were to enumerate them from the inception to the current year.
Indeed every Cub, Scout, Rover and Scouter, past or present, owe gratitude to the stalwarts for laying down and teaching them well-established customs, traditions, learnings and moral values for their development in achieving their full physical, intellectual, emotional and social potentials as individuals and as responsible citizens and members of their local, national and international communities.
