Summary/Abstract: The article shows the role of social organisations formed within the communities of Polish political emigrants after World War II in the field of political mobilization of Polish post-war emigration. The problem of mobilising for activity in political life in this community was presented on the example of the participation of the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association outside Poland in organising the celebration of anniversaries of important historical events and national holidays, including the impact of these activities on the involvement and political culture of Polish emigrants.
