Visnyk – Winter/Spring 2023
Welcome to the Winter/Spring 2023 Edition of the Plast Australia E-Visnyk!
Now that spring has commenced, we are able to reflect on the last few months of plastuvannia across Australia – and we certainly haven’t been hibernating over winter.
Latest News from Plast Australia
Lesh Tabir 2023
We regret to announce that Lesh Tabir 2023 is CANCELLED. We will be reaching out to those that have paid to arrange a full refund. Unfortunately the organising committee has assessed that there is an unacceptably high probability that snow conditions will deteriorate further over the coming weeks.
Families that wish to still attend may book with Kalyna directly.

what is plast?
Plast, the Ukrainian Scouting Organisation, is active worldwide to promote the development of children and young people as self-aware, responsible and involved citizens and future leaders of their local national and global communities.

Members of Plast will be trustworthy, diligent, punctual, thrifty, fair-minded, courteous, collegial and caring, judicious, helpful, respectful toward the Plast leadership, attentive, careful with their health, cherishing and nurturing of all that is beautiful, and always optimistic.
THE PLAST PROMISE
“I swear on my honour that I will do everything in my power to: Love God and Ukraine; Help others; and Live according to the Plast Law”.
Plast in Australia
While Plast has recently celebrated over 110 years since the first Plast oath was taken in Lviv in 1912, Plast Australia has continued for over 70 years – as we celebrated our 70th anniversary in 2019.
The Plast Ukrainian Scout Organisation was brought to Australia in 1949 by our forefathers in the post WWII migration.
Plast was established in most states of Australia, as our founders had the determination and foresight to establish a strong Plast presence.
Remaining faithful to the core values of service to God, country and community, Plast Australia to this day facilitates the holistic self-development of young people in a supportive, fun, challenging and patriotic environment.
