==Events== The Scouts and Guides in Junák organise many events on the national and local level. One of them is the [[Svojsík's Race]], which takes place every two years. Junák hosted [[Intercamp]] in 1994, 2004 and 2016, and the Czech Rover Moot [[Obrok]], every two years and the Water Scouts hold a national water-themed jamboree, [[Navigamus]], every three years. Junák also organises monetary drives and information campaigns, e.g. in support of cancer research and development projects in Ethiopia. Every Christmas, Czech Scouts and Guides distribute the Bethlehem Light around the country. Junák publishes four magazines, for its various divisions, as well as various other materials, numbering roughly 15–20 different publications a year. The organisation also maintains Scout/Guide centres around the country, run by their respective districts and groups. Some of these are open to the public, for a nominal fee, as self-service accommodation. During the [[Communist era of Czechoslovakia|communist era]], Scouts, [[Czech tramping|trampers]], and other hikers, would trek to [[Ivančena]]. These hikes were monitored by the [[StB|state security]]. Pilgrimages to the mound continue to this day. Each year on a Saturday near [[Saint George's Day]] (April 24), Czech Scouts make a pilgrimage to the site.<ref name="heroes">{{cite web |title=Scout Heroes of WWII: Ivančena |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dapzhhd2CfI |via=YouTube |language=cs |publisher=Skautský institut | date=2023-07-18}}</ref> Since 1996, when a plaque commemorating the "Resistance of the Silesian Heroes" was placed at the Jewish cemetery in Cieszyn, Poland, a commemorative event has also been held at this place as part of the pilgrimage. The mound is still growing and is made of stones originating from around the world.<ref name="praguepost">{{cite news |title=Czechs commemorate scouts executed by Nazis |url=http://www.praguepost.com/travel2/47299-czechs-commemorate-scouts-executed-by-nazis |agency=Czech News Agency |publisher=praguepost.com |date=2015-04-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150426194443/http://www.praguepost.com/travel2/47299-czechs-commemorate-scouts-executed-by-nazis |archive-date=26 April 2015 }}</ref>
