They became nicknamed the ''[[Szare Szeregi]]'' (''Grey Ranks'') and cooperated with the [[Polish underground state]] and the Armia Krajowa resistance. The older Scouts carried out sabotage and armed resistance. The Girl Guides formed auxiliary units working as nurses, liaisons and munition carriers. At the same time the youngest Scouts were involved in so-called small sabotage under the auspice of the [[Wawer]] organization, which included dropping [[leaflet]]s or painting the [[kotwica]] sign on the walls. During [[Operation Tempest]], and especially during the [[Warsaw Uprising]], the Scouts participated in the fighting, and several [[Szare Szeregi]] units were some of the most effective in combat. | ||
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 [[1945]] the ZHP restored its former name and returned to public existence.
