Abstract
In the 20th century Baden Powell and Kurt Hahn had particular influence over the development of outdoor education in the UK specifically related to Scouting and Outward Bound organisations, which have progressed and had significant impact internationally. Similarly, in the Czech Republic the ideas of Jaroslav Foglar (1907-1999) have influenced the development of education in various nature settings.
This presentation provides background to the work of Jaroslav Foglar and his influence through his stories of adventure and mystery on at least three generation's relationship to education in nature, camping and scouting.
