I am pleased to forward the following information from Sz. Lukacs
Janos of the Hungarian Scout Association in Budapest.  "The home page
of the Hungarian Scout Association is ready, you can read it at the

The Hungarian Scout Association (HSA) was a founding member of the
World Organization of the Scout Movement joining officially in 1919.
HSA survived through World War Two under tremendous pressure and at
considerable risk.  The HSA was disbanded by the Communist government
in 1948.  Scouting again continued underground.  It emerged briefly
during the Hungarian Rising of 1956 and then as freedom dawned in the
East and the Soviet Empire collapsed, Hungary led the way as the first
Eastern European nation to return to the World Organization in 1989.

A tradition of Hungarian Scouting and the Magyar people was cited by
Baden-Powell when he challenged the Scouts at the IV World Jamboree at
Godollo in Hungary in 1933:

"The White Stag has a message for you. Hunters of old pursued the
miraculous stag, not because they expected to kill it, but because it
led them in the joy of the chase to new and fresh adventures, and so
to capture happiness. You may look on the White Stag as the true
spirit of Scouting, springing forward and upward, ever leading you
onward to leap over difficulties, to face new adventures in your
active pursuit of the higher aims of Scouting � aims which bring you
happiness. These aims are duty to God, to your country, and to your
fellow man by carrying out the Scout Law. In that way you will help to
bring about God�s kingdom upon earth � the reign of peace and
goodwill."

If you would like to learn of the connection between the 1933 Jamboree
in Hungary and the design of leadership training in the Boy Scouts of
America, browse the White Stag web page at URL:
