This master thesis maps out events and processes which are connected with the resurgence of the Woodcraft league of Czechoslovakia after the fall of communism in Czechoslovakia in 1989. It deals with woodcraft community and affiliated groups that intensified their activities during the last years of the period of normalization in Czechoslovakia. After the Velvet revolution, these groups and individuals represented basis for the resurgence of the Woodcraft league. Furthermore, this paper describes concrete steps connected with this resurgence, introduces prominent actors of this process and tries to explain their major steps. It does not omit controversial events, neither ideological cleavages linked to the resurgence of the organisation, which was gagged more than 40 years. Finally, this final thesis puts the focus on the evolution of the organisation during its first modern period when it has succeeded in establishing itself within the Czechoslovakian society marked by a newly gathered freedom, an uncritical euphoria and by the subsequent return to reality. The information for this study was collected using the method of oral history, more specifically through interviews with prominent actors of these events. Collected findings were subsequently compared with information from other written sources...

In my thesis I deal with problematic behaviour of children which scout leaders face in Liberec region and their ability to solve these problems. Theoretical part is followed by a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. In my theoretical part I described Junak organization - Association of Scouts and Guides of the Czech Republic, its training system. I also concentrated on what causes problematic children behaviour, competencies of a leader, danger for a child when there is a lack of competencies and methodology of work with children in Junak. My aim in empirical part was to understand what problems scout leaders face, if they are able to solve them, and what is their idea of an educational seminar which could help them when working with children in risk. I obtained data from 68 leaders in Liberec region by a questionnaire with open and closed questions. Then I used a method of semi-structured interview and obtained information from 10 centre leaders Retez Ceska Lipa. In interviews I focused on: problems which scout leaders have experienced, how they solved them, if this solution was successful and concrete ideas of a course. The result of this research is a proposal of content (schedule, length, form, methods, aims etc.) of a course for leaders working with children in risk. Key words...

This MA thesis deals with the influence of single-sex tourist groups on creating the identity of their members. The aim is to discover the effect of membership in such a non-coeducational tourist clubs on children, and also how this leisure activity affects children's identity and what impact it has on their development. The theoretical part discusses socializing, social environment, gender, gender socialization and gender stereotypes. Furthermore, it also deals with the influence of peers and peer groups for socialization of children and the issue of the high quality use of leisure time. For the purpose of this thesis, interviews were carried out with all parties involved in the functioning of these clubs, namely leaders, instructors, parents and of course also the current and former members of these clubs. For comparison of some statements, an interview with a leader of a very similar, but non-coeducational club was carried out. The results showed that non-coeducational clubs are beneficial for children because the children have the opportunity to access activities normally carried out by the members of the opposite sex, and to do so without gender-motivated social prejudices. Additionally, the approach and attitudes of the leaders have great influence on the running of the club, the nature...

El escultismo es una de las asociaciones juveniles más grandes y reconocidas del mundo. Su propuesta formativa, conocida como Método Scout, trabaja con niños y jóvenes a nivel personal y grupal con el objetivo de formar mejores ciudadanos. Sin embargo, tiene un déficit para presentar su material formativo, ocasionando falta de motivación entre scouts para iniciar su progresión. Por ello, el principal objetivo del presente trabajo es rediseñar el material formativo de la Asociación Scouts del Perú haciendo uso de las herramientas que brinda el diseño de información. Se espera que aplicando el diseño de información como herramienta se pueda transformar el material formativo de la Asociación Scouts del Perú brindando una alternativa que genere mayor motivación en los lobatos. La metodología utilizada es investigación experimental, ya que incluye una variable experimental, en un entorno fijo. El nivel de investigación es experimental y el enfoque que se ha elegido es mixto ya que se utilizara tanto el método cuantitativo como el cualitativo. La solución presentada es un juego para móviles en el cual los lobatos responden preguntas para ir avanzando a través de un circuito, tiene la opción de juego en equipo donde las seisenas y manadas compiten entre sí. La propuesta responde a las dificultadas encontradas en el material actual sin desligarse de las bases del escultismo. En conclusión, luego del testeo, el 100% de lobatos respondieron positivamente a la propuesta, demostrando interés hacia el material y motivación por iniciar su progresión, validando así la hipótesis presentada. / Scouting is one of the largest and most recognized youth associations in the world. Its formative proposal, known as the Scout Method, works with children and young people on a personal and group level with the aim of forming better citizens. However, they have a deficit to present their formative material, causing lack of motivation among scouts to start their progression. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to redesign the training material of the Scouts of Peru Association using the tools provided by the design of information. It is expected that applying the information design as a tool can transform the training material of the Scouts of Peru Association providing an alternative that generates more motivation in scouts. The methodology used is experimental research, since it includes an experimental variable, in a fixed environment. The level of research is experimental one and the approach that has been chosen is mixed one since both the quantitative and the qualitative method will be used. The presented solution is a game for mobiles in which the scouts answer questions to go through a circuit, has the option of team play where they compete in teams. The proposal responds to the difficulties found in the current material without breaking away from the foundations of Scouting. In conclusion, after testing, 100% of scouts responded positively to the proposal, demonstrating interest in the material and motivation to start their progression, thus validating the hypothesis presented. / Trabajo de investigación

The thesis deals with the development of key competences through Scout training. It focuses on the transformation of educational program in the Junák - Association of Scouts and Guides of the Czech Republic. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The first part describes the history, the mission and ideals of Scouting. It deals with the development of Scouting in Czechoslovakia (or the Czech Republic) after 1990 and also explains how Junák is perceived by the public. It was found out by studies that were done in 2003. This thesis compares the historical and current educative documents that are used to support the development of children and young people's personalities. The thesis describes the initial impulses that led to the program's modification. Also the system of competences, which is essential for the new program, is developed in the thesis. The practical part contains instructions and suggestions for effective development of skills and deals with the further education for scout leaders. The work is accompanied by attachments that contain examples of previous and modern materials and a table summarizing the development of competences.

Scouting is a lifestyle. Scouts are mates, friends and the community of people who share similar values. Growing up in a scout section is to seize the chance to live fully, to be active and find their own place in the world. Scouting is an offered opportunity for developping not only themselves but also their surroundings. Scouts try to create a better world by taking their lives into their own hands. Scouting works universally on the personality development of children and young people, through games, experiences, activities and other work. The aim of this work is to explore the issues shaping the social climate in scout sections in relation to the leadership style of the group. The theoretical part provides general information about scouting, pedagogical - psychological aspects of social groups, group leadership styles, influences on the formation of the social climate in the group with regard to the specificity of the scout groups. The empirical part shows leadership styles group care centers in a scout camp in the center cup and what their relationship to the social climate of the scout groups and raids is.

This thesis deals with Ferdinand Schlögel-Merzin's (1899-1983) early works related to the 1913 Scout summer camp led by Josef Hendrych. It was set up at the Bohemian Paradise near the site of Kumburk castle ruins. In addition to the analysis of Schlögel-Merzin's diary and memoirs, the thesis also aims to provide information on the origination of Czech Scouting with respect to Schlögel-Merzin and his influence. The thesis also contains the inventory of Schlögel-Merzin's personal fonds, stored in the Literary archive of the Museum of Czech Literature. The collection includes material from the entire Schlögel-Merzin's creative period, mainly unpublished manuscripts - poems, poetry collections, prose, plays or travelogue lectures - and archive documents connected to his writing or travels to foreign countries in the 1920s and 1930s.
