PHOENIX 97

Leaflet - information - invitation

JUN|K - Association of Scouts and Guides of the Czech Republic will
organise an international camp Phoenix 97 from 22nd to 29th June 1997
in Prague.

It will be the first big meeting of Scouts and Guides after the
fall of totalitarian systems and after the renewal of scout and guide
organisations in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Czech Republic is a small country of the area of almost 90 000 km2
with about 11 million inhabitants (and about 65 000 of scouts and
guides), situated in the heart of Europe. Its capital is Prague, a
picturesque city with lots of historical and artistic monuments.

FROM THE HISTORY
Organising an international meeting Phoenix 97 we want to link it to
traditions broken many years ago. The foundations of these traditions
were made in 1931 by Slavonic Jamboree - a meeting of 15 000 Scouts
and Guides from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria and other European countries in Prague. This idea was then
realised by the founder of Czech scouting and the Association of
Slavonic Scouts - A. B. Svojsik.
It was continued by the meeting in Poland in Spala 1935, other
meetings were not possible.
We would like to contribute to brotherly and sisterly contacts at
Phoenix, to contribute to mutual understanding: we believe that we
will succeed in linking to the heritage of Slavonic mutual friendship
of A. B. Svojsik and to humanistic ideals of T. G. Masaryk, our first
president.
Let us try to find what links us, but also to show each other
specialities of our cultures and our national traditions.

PROGRAMME
Activities we prepare for Phoenix will show not only fulfilling
the Scout motto Be Prepared, but also possibilities of mutual
inspiration in scouting activities. As most of the participants will
come from Slavonic countries, a part of the programme will present
our nations going back to their history, looking into their culture
and visiting the monuments of the capital of the Czech Republic and
its surroundings.

APPLICATIONS
PARTICIPATION FEE
Preliminary applications should be sent by the end of November 1996.
The deadline of obligatory applications is lst March 1997. It is
necessary to pay the participation fee by this term (lst March). The
fee will not be given back in case the participant will not be able
to come - it is necessary to send a substitute.
The participation fee is 35 $ and it covers:
- camping fee
- meeting activities
- an excursion
- a badge Phoenix 97
We recommend the participants to have the health insurance for
staying abroad. The participation fee will be also paid by the
service team.
