summary
Scouting as a worldwide movement has its roots in the early 20th century. The book traces the first steps of Scout groups in the Czech lands, the development of their programmes as well as the conflicts and challenges that individual movements faced in the early days. The author also maps German and Jewish organisations, Catholic Scouting and scout groups of national minorities. He describes the similarities and differences between the Czech and German youth movements, not leaving out how these organisations served the political struggle.
