Fr. Mikołaj Sasinowski – priest and chaplain of the Aviation Technical School for Junior Students, Secondary School no. 2 in Halton (1943–1946 )

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the scouting activity of Rev. Mikołaj Sasinowski, a chaplain of the Polish Air Force in the West in Great Britain during World War II and a chaplain of the Aviation Technical School for Junior Students, Secondary School no. 2 in Halton. Rev. Sasinowski is an example of a priest actively working among young Polish students in the school in Halton in the years 1943–1946. The students of this school were orphans whose parents died during the deportation from Poland to Siberia in 1940–1941. The personalities of these young people had been distorted during their stay in Siberia. Deep inner wounds and a sense of being lost were visible. The scout team at the Halton Technical School led by Rev. Sasinowski and his organizing and directing of summer vacations in the form of summer camps demonstrate very well his profound understanding and the fruitful realization of scoutingideals among the former young exiles to Siberia, educated in Great Britain during World War II. His personal example and charm, authentic piety, zeal and sense of humor positively influenced the education of new scouts and future scouting instructors, who in the later years worked fruitfully in the structures of the Polish Scouting Association outside Poland.
