There was a purge of the Scout leaders, many of whom perished under the [[Bolsheviks]]. Those Scouts who did not wish to accept the new Soviet system either left Russia for good, like Pantyukhov and others, or went underground.

There were no separate organizations for girls and boys, and many new features were introduced, like [[Young Pioneer Palace]]s. | However, some features of Scouting remained in the modified form.
