Plast
Ukrainian scouting organisation in Great Britain
A fairly large contingent of Ukrainians came to Great Britain in 1947-48, among whom were Plast members. They began working to build ‘stanytsi’ (plast centres) in towns where there was a Ukrainian community.
These were in:
- Bradford
- Derby
- Wolverhampton
- London
- Leicester
- Manchester
- Nottingham
Plast membership is divided into five age groups.
- Ptasheniata (Little Birds) 4-6 years of age
- Novaky (Cub Scouts) 6-12 years of age
- Yunaky (Scouts) 12-18 years of age
- Starshi Plastuny (Rover Scouts) 18-35 years of age
- Seniory (Senior Scouts) age over 35
