May 6th is Saint George’s Day. As he is the patron of the Plast organization, each year members of Plast commemorate this day with a Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is a sort of competition between Plast troops. This is the first time after the winter season when all the members leave the city and test themselves in the open air. 

Plast members show their skills in variousareas: intellectual, sports, culinary, medical, artistic and the topic of Plast. At the end, winners are determined.  

The Spring Festival will take place at the same time in all regions of Ukraine, with one motto, theme and some common program elements. 

Event date: May 11-13,  2012

In August, the Jubilee International Plast Meeting will take place as a culmination of all our summer camps. Plast members from Ukraine and the Diaspora, along with guests from other scouting organizations, will be the participants in this Meeting. 

During the first phase of the Meeting, Plast members from all over the world will have an opportunity to join one of a number of camps devoted to specific fields of scouting, e.g. water-based, flying, hiking, artistic, and so on. 

At the end of the first phase, all Plast members and guests will come to Lviv for the second phase of the Jubilee International Plast Meeting. This phase will include a quest through the city of Lviv, wonderful Plast firesides and  city celebrations devoted to Ukraine’s Independence Day. 

On August 23rd, there will be an International Plast Conference dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Plast, with the participation of well-known scientists, leaders of prominent international boards and politicians from Ukraine and the Diaspora.

This project aims to promote the history of Plast, its formation, and establishment of centres and departments. Our aim is to show the history of Plast and its members via short “steps-publications”. 

This project will prove that history is not always formal and boring, and that the history of Plast is an interesting and dynamic phenomenon which often played a decisive role in the life of Ukraine and its people. 

These “steps” are primarily designed for students, pupils, and ordinary users of social networks, among whom the idea of Plast can be promoted in such a simple way.
