This paper deals with the heritage of Jaroslav Foglar, writer and educator, since whose birthday one hundred years passed in 2007. It is recapitulating briefly a pedagogical potential of his literally work and presenting him as a typical representative of experiential education, whose games, instructions and inspiration are often utilized in educational practice. However, the challenge for theoretics of experiential education remains a deeper pedagogic reflection of his activities as well as books. Having reminder results of public inquiries finding an exceptionally high readers’ popularity regardless a social order and historical changes, it put the stress on the motifs from his literary work that deals especially with development of physical ability in the form of competitions and challenges. A strong motivational potention of instructive literature is proved (although not at a statistically significant extent) even by research of relationship of reading of Foglar’s books and really done movement activities.

Jaroslav Foglar (1907–1999, nicknamed „Jestřáb“ — „Hawk“) was a Czech scoutmaster and a prolific and influential author of novels, short stories, comics and practical guides for the youth. The article discusses motifs in his work and life that were influenced by contemporary folklore, Zeitungssagen, forteana and other similar genres. While Foglar was not an author of fantastic or supernatural prose and was strongly inclined to keep a skeptical stance in this manner, he was also able to successfully build an atmosphere of mystery in his literal works using aforementioned genres as an inspiration. Key topics discussed in the paper are roles and importance of staged hauntings in Foglar’s scout troop, appearance of various urban phantoms in his works and Foglar’s take on the story of disappearance of Charles Ashmore/Oliver Lerch/Olivier Thomas. These examples are further discussed in the context of scouts’ folklore, campfire legends and popular culture of the 20th century

This article looks at Scouting from the perspective of J. Burghauser (1921–1997), the well-known musicologist and composer, using his personal diaries from the 1940–1945 period, written in Ancient Greek and as yet unstudied. As such, the article presents these unique recollections to the general public for the first time. The focus of attention is given over to the running of the 2nd Prague Scout Troop, which even after the banning of the Scouts in autumn 1940, continued as an undercover scout troop in various structures up until May 1945. During this time, Burghauser helped troop head Jaroslav Foglar as his deputy. The article concludes with a discussion of the possible motives for Burghauser to use Ancient Greek in his diary entries, coming to a position that rather than an attempt at masking the undercover scouting activities, the diary author was instead attempting to improve his personal language skills in a language whose culture, in particular Ancient Greece, he had considerable respect for.
