From 1895 to 1900, there was a secret youth organization of the Kamianets-Podilskyi Bursa called the Zaporoz’ka Sich.

Every member wore a twig of a plant, issued to his division — it could be oak, birch, viburnum, sycamore etc.

It is known that in 1909 a Ukrainian young man, Yurko Honchariv-Honcharenko, founded the First Scout Squad in Ukraine in the Bakhmut district of Katerynoslav region.

Independently from Tysovsky, Ivan Chmola and Petro Franko started their own Plast groups.

If the latter focused the principles of Plast on physical and military training, Oleksandr Tysovsky was engaged in theoretical education of young people.

After a few months of their activity, on 12 April 1912, about 40 people passed the first "participant" trial and took the Plast oath of allegiance to God and Ukraine.

The work of this formation is coordinated by a team of adult leaders, one to three volunteers who have completed the training process and received NOSU certification.

Acceptance — to be able to respect views of other people according to their traditions, ethnicity, religion, language or culture.

Nature — learning opportunities in the outdoors which encourage a better understanding of and a relationship with the wider environment.

Since its inception, the Scouting Movement has been based on a system of values (interdependent ethical rules).

An important aspect of this Scouting principle is a person's relationship with the spiritual values of life and their fundamental belief in a higher power.

Duty to others Loyalty to one’s country in harmony with the promotion of local, national, and international peace, understanding, and cooperation.

Society is taken in the broadest sense of the word and includes family, local community, country and the world, as well as respect for all humanity and nature as a whole.

This scouting principle reminds of a person's responsibility for developing their potential and how to best realize their abilities.

A Scout makes the world a better place, living by the motto «Not a day without a good deed».

The stages of progression are incentives that encourage young people to move forward to achieve their personal goals.
