SCOUTS, LEVENTE MOVEMENT AND PIONEERS OUT-OF-SCHOOL YOUTH EDUCATION IN THE HORTHY, RÁKOSI AND KÁDÁR ERAS

Summary/Abstract: The topic of my publication is out-of-school, organized youth education, which is a brief summary of the Hungarian Scout Association operating largely during the right-wing, conservative Horthy era and the Hungarian Scout movement that replaced it, the Levente movement, which was also activated at that time, as well as during the far-left, communist dictatorship, the Rákosi era, and with the restoration that followed the suppression of the 1956 revolution and war of independence, it replaced it and gradually became a "soft dictatorship" about the Association of Hungarian Pioneers operating under the state socialist system, during the Kádár era. I was interested in several questions: When and what was the pattern and purpose of the organizations? Were any of them specifically related to Hungary? Approximately how many members did they have? Did they have similarities? What was the uniform of the movements like? Was it mandatory for everyone (boys and girls) to enter? How did the members experience belonging to the community? Did schools have any influence on how all three organisations operate? At what intervals and of what kind of joint sessions were held? Did they have activities related only to school life or weekend, outdoor programs? Did parents also participate in the movement, or are we talking only about children's organizations? Was the political ideology of state power present in the life of the movements? How and in what form did the power elite of the day intervene in the operation of the various youth organizations? What expectations were placed on them? Was militarism, preparation for World War present in the everyday life of organizations? What happened to the various movements?
