Scouting Around the World Czechoslovakia
From 1912 to 1994 there were in
Czechoslovak Scout Federation
about 48 Scout Clubs and Scout
organisations where each one had
another name. These were all Boy
Scouts. In 1918 was established a
Scout club named "Deti svobody"
(Children of Freedom), and in
1919 this unit entered into the club
"Svaz junliku-skauru republiky
Ceskoslovenske" (Czechoslovak
Scout Federation).
