===Pre-war ZHP===
=== Pre-war ZHP ===
The Polish Scout movement was started in [[1910]]. Initially the ideas of [[Scouting]] were implemented by [[Andrzej Małkowski]] and his wife [[Olga Malkowska|Olga]]. The three main branches of Polish Scouting included the [[Strzelec]] paramilitary organization for boys, a sport and education society [[Sokół]] and the anti-alcoholic association ''Eleusis''. However, it wasn't until the [[Partitions of Poland]] came to an end that the ZHP would be officially founded by the merging of existing groups.

In [[1945]] the ZHP restored its former name and returned to public existence. However, the communist authorities of Poland pressured the organization to become a member of the [[Pioneer Movement]] and eventually it was banned in [[1949]].

In [[1956]], after [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin's]] and [[Boleslaw Bierut|Bierut's]] death, the communist party youth movement ZMP OH was transformed and renamed to ZHP. However the new ZHP did not consider itself as a continuation of the pre-war ZHP, but as a new organization (until 1980). After [[1958]] many pre-war instructors were removed from the new ZHP or marginalized (like [[Aleksander Kamiński]]) and the original oath, law, educational content and methods were changed (mention of God was removed from oath, [[Lenin]] introduced as a hero, the [[Bolshevik Revolution]] was commemorated, the brigades became co-educational).

===Czuwaj===
=== Czuwaj ===
The Scout Motto is "Czuwaj", translating literally as "be aware" or "stay awake" in Polish, symbolizing readiness.  It was a historic admonition of medieval knights to one another, while on guard holding back the Mongols. The Polish nouns for single Scouts are ''Harcerz'' (M) and ''Harcerka'' (F).
