“The legendary figure of St. George symbolizes humanity’s eternal dream of ideal knighthood—a striving for the ideal human being: strong, determined, courageous, ready to fight, while also noble, generous, and pure in deeds and thoughts,” wrote Dr. Oleksander Tysovskyi, the founder of Plast.
It is with this ideal in their hearts that Plastuny around the world celebrate Sv Yuria – St. George’s Day—one of the most meaningful days in the Plast calendar.
In the lead-up to this special occasion, Alexandra Bernyk and Teresa Hassett visited the newly revived Plast group in Tasmania, where they led the group’s very first apel‘, hosted an introductory session about Plast, and ran engaging activities in honour of Sv Yuria.
During the ceremony, Plast scarves were presented to new members across several age groups, including:
One Ptashenia (Little Chick)
Five Novaky and Novachky (Cub Scouts)
Two Yunaky (Scouts)
One Starsha Plastunka (Rover Scout)
Two Plastuny Seniory (Senior Plast members)
A heartfelt thank you to Teresa and Olesia for your visit and for inspiring the newest members of our growing Plast family—especially as we mark a day that embodies the highest ideals of Plast spirit.
We look forward to future visits and continued growth. SKOB!
