MORVAY Péter: A regöscserkészet

Bach-korszak végi nóta volt, mintha csak erre az alkalomra költötték volna: Alsónyéken megépült a vasút, Megjött rajta Garibaldi, Kossuth, Meghozta a nemzeti lobogót, Megállj német!

The minstrel catechism published in 1930 was edited by István Győrffy, among others. Afterwards, how to live like a boy while serving the Hungarians was written. The most important tasks of the minstrel-scout were: to get to know, to get to like, and to collect the cultural and conductive values of the Hungarian people, which are universal values at the same time, and to use them in scouting. Another task was to spread the vernacular and national cultivation and consciousness among the youth of the village.
