Secret scouting organizations in Poland, 1944–1956

Summary/Abstract: Secret scouting organizations are considered to have been an important element of the Polish independence underground in post-war Poland. During the period 1944–1956, at least 122 secret youth organizations were formed in Poland, which ideologically and structurally referred to scouting movement. Being a response to current political and social situation in Poland, they were born spontaneously. Those secret groups used to resort to various forms of defiance against the communist system among which the most important one was a propaganda activity similar to“minor-sabotage” operations carried out by the Szare Szeregi [the Grey Ranks].
