Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to characterize the sources of vocabulary used in the scouting community. The research material was taken from the internal sources – scouting handbooks, as well as the external sources – general language dictionaries. The words were excerpted based on the theory of semantic fields, and their primary thematic fields were indicated (i.e. the areas from which their meanings were transferred). Then the material was analysed with regard to the mechanisms of appearing in the scouts’ lexicon. In the researched set loanwords (both internal and external), neologisms, and neosemanticisms were observed. The latter were divided by the author into proper, specifying, and collocative ones.
