Remarks

  1. Nowadays this club is still informal. That is because Scouts' activities distinguish themselves in bottom-up initiatives. Their formalization demand beforehandly to create written working plan, which is formerly validated by commandant of higher level (this procedure can last for weeks). If it was obligatory to avoid any activities of club's recruitment until its validation, such club could collapse. To provide good functioning of Scout's groups, its members should learn it in practise (it is one of features of Polish Scouting's Method).
