Scout gathering on The Warsaw Uprising day
From July 28th to August 2nd, nearly 800 Scouts from Poland gathered in Warsaw to commemorate Warsaw Uprising Day.This day is meant to remind us that we should fight for our homeland, just like the people of Warsaw did 82 years ago.There were many different activities, for example, each patrol (a group of 4-8 people) had to decorate several areas with ribbons, candles, and flags. The event took place at night, so it was very exciting.There was an opportunity to talk with Warsaw Uprising participants and learn more about their lives.It was a great opportunity to spend time with people from another Scouting organization: ZHP ZHR FSE RR, and others.The highlight was when the sirens sounded on August 1st at 5:00 PM. At that exact time, 82 years ago, the Warsaw Uprising broke out. As a Scout group, we had the opportunity to sound the fire engine siren. At 8:00 PM, there was a sing-along, during which we sang songs from the uprising. This is a great opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the place you come from.ps: not any of photos i use are mine, they are from Skauci Europy facebook.
