"The need to get food, build a camp resistant to storms and torrents drove us all to work. The leader worked together with us, but he did not make the conditions easier for us. On the contrary, the order to use tree boards in the construction, which we had to cut down and process in the thickets, meant a new piece of work. Sometimes, tired of remorse, I remembered home, especially when the still rain and gloomy sky discouraged us newcomers. However, what kept me going and pushed me forward was the interest in this Robinsonade and my pride. I didn't show the feelings that were shaking through me at the time. If the others can handle it, I will persevere as well. My nature can't stand myself being last. And this pride helped me overcome effeminacy.
This is how I remembered my beginnings as scout and felt a warm joy of the calm awareness of my today fitness. ”
_Jiří Wolker: To those to whom I belong

Project goal
The main goal of this work coincides with the mission and purpose of the association Junák - Czech Scout, z .: "To support the development of young people's personalities in accordance with the principles and methods of scouting."

Means
The means to fulfill the main goal is to build a scout camp in which children are involved. Specifically, 25 boys aged 7-15 who are members of the 14th Regulus Líšeň section. Together with 10 other leaders, they go to the "Hodíškov" camp every year, where they spend the first 14 days of the summer holidays.

The construction of the camp is preceded by a design, which is the subject of this work.
