Antonín Benjamin Svojsík died on September 17, 1938, and Czech Scouts and Guides unified on January 22, 1939 to found the new association called Junák. The Chief Scout was Dr. [[Rudolf Plajner]] and the Chief Guide was Vlasta Koseová. Junák was abolished by force and Scouting prohibited by German State Secretary [[Karl Hermann Frank]] during the [[Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia]] on [[October 28]], 1940. Many Scouts and Guides joined the [[Czech Resistance]]; over 700 of them died during the war as part of the movement. After the war, the association was re-registered in Prague in 1945, following the country's liberation, with 120,000 members registered in 1946, the number of members grew to nearly 250,000, (making it the second largest association in the World Movements at that time), and in 1947, a contingent of 500 represented Junák at the [[World Scout Jamboree]] in France, sporting two Scout bands. In summer 1946, Lady Olave Baden-Powell visited Czechoslovakia and she was welcome in the whole Republic by our Scouts and Guides. After the war, in lieu of Scout camps, their participants helped in local agriculture. Chief Guide Vlasta Koseová became the Vice-chairman of the World Committee of WAGGGS and Chairman Dr. [[Velen Fanderlik]] was a member of the [[World Scout Committee]] of WOSM. | Antonín Benjamin Svojsík died on September 17, 1938, and Czech Scouts and Guides unified on January 22, 1939 to found the new association called Junák.

However, in 1948, after the Communist coup, Junák was disbanded; beginning in 1949, trials were held against various Junák Commissioners, some of whom were sentenced to many years of imprisonment in communist concentration camps, where many of them died.

Many Junák troops continued to meet in secret, ironically using the cell method developed by Lenin (as was also the case in neighboring Hungary). In 1968, during the Prague Spring, the Scouts again began meeting openly, until it was banned by order of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, in October 1970. During that period, the number of Scouts in Czechoslovakia was 65,000. Again, many Junák units continued to operate in secret. | ||
After the 1989 [[Velvet Revolution]], Junák was one of the first organisations to re-emerge from working underground, by then, for the fourth time in its history. By the close of 1989, the number of Scouts in Czechoslovakia was 80,000. On 1 February 1990, the Federation of Czech and Slovak Scouting was officially registered, paving the way for its re-admittance to the World Organization during the World Scout Conference in Paris in July 1990, re-recognised by the major world Scouting organisations (see below). Upon Czechoslovakia's dissolution on December 31, 1992, Cesky Junák (as it was then called) and Slovenský Skauting were required to apply for membership of the World Organization as the national member organizations of the Czech Republic and Republic of Slovakia, respectively. On [[June 30]], [[1996]], Junák-Svaz Skautů a Skautek was welcomed as the 141st member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. In 1998, Junák became one of the founding members of the [[Czech Council of Children and Youth]], a national youth council that aims to protect the rights and interests of Czech young people. Membership in 1998 was 57,979 Scouts and Guides in the Czech Republic. During the summer of 1998, 1,361 camps were held and 32,177 Scouts and Guides participated in these camps. In 2001, Junák hosted the [[European Guide and Scout Conference]], in Prague. | After the 1989 [[Velvet Revolution]], Junák was one of the first organisations to re-emerge from working underground, by then, for the fourth time in its history.
