Orel (movement)

A group of Slovenian Orel members in Lower Carniola

The Orel movement (from the Czech word for eagle) is a Moravia-based Czech youth movement and gymnastics organization which emerged between 1902-1909 as Catholic Church-supported competitor of the nationalistic and therefore, in the local policical context, rather anti-Catholic organization Sokol.

A similar organization with the same name was organized also in the Slovene Lands and in Croatia, where it successfully competed with the local Sokol movement. It was dissolved in the early 1930s by the dictatorial regime of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia.
