9 Ukrainian scouting

Did you know that Scouting (under the name PLAST) was first established in Ukraine in 1911? This makes it one of the oldest Scout organisations in Europe.

During the years of communist rule, Plast was prohibited in Ukraine. Plast members from the diaspora brought it back to Ukraine, where since 1990 it has been growing rapidly, and today has spread to all the parts of our country.

Ukrainian Scouting has been known as 'PLAST'. That means in Ukrainian exactly the same thing as 'scouting' in Englishi.e. 'plastun' is a 'scout'. The word 'Plastun' has a long and distinguished history; it was first used by the medieval Ukrainian Cossacks in the Zaporizzhia region.

The Scouting movement of Ukraine tries to educate its young members to be worthy humans and good citizens of their country – honest, industrious and useful to the society. Plast also teaches its members to be tolerant of needs and desires for self expression by other peoples and be protective of the environment.

The three 'Main Duties' of Ukrainian Scout represent the ideals of the Ukrainian Scouting Organisation. They are: to be faithful to God and Country, to help others and to be disciplined and obey the Scout Laws.

Plast is organised into four age-groups: the Cub-Scouts (6 to 12 years), the Scouts (12 to 18 years), the Rover Scouts (18 to 30) and the Senior Scouts (Scouters and other former Scouts, aged over 30). During the cub-scout and scout ages, the genders work in separate troops, but they belong to the same local council.

The local councils are called 'stanyci'. A 'stanyca' is divided into male and female 'koshi'. All Plast councils are united in the Country Plast Organisation. All Plast organisations in the world are united in the Conference of Ukrainian Plast Organisations (KUPO). Currently, the Plast organisations in Ukraine, USA, Canada, Argentina, Australia, Germany, Great Britain, Poland and Slovakia are full member of KUPO. There exist also small Plast organisations in Brazil, Lithuania, Latvia and Kazakhstan, but they have only observer status in KUPO.

Democracy is a cornerstone of the Plast organisation. All positions in the world-wide KUPO are elected.

A great deal of effort is extended to teach the young children how to elect their leaders and how to fulfil the duties. Children are taught responsibility, honesty and trust.

The usual scouting emblem of scouting organisations in countries around the world is usually the fleur-de-lis. The Ukrainian Scouting emblem combines the fleur-de-lis with the official state emblem of independent Ukraine the Trident (Tryzub).
