José Martí Pioneer Organization
- José Martí Pioneer Organization
One of the last remnants of the Pioneer organizations which were to replace Scouting in the Soviet system, Cuba's José Martí Pioneer Organization was established in 1961, created as a replacement for the banned Asociación de Scouts de Cuba.
The José Martí Pioneer Organization groups primary and secondary students, until 9th grade. The initiation takes place with a traditional act of giving a neckerchief, blue or red depending on the student's level; from that moment it form a part of the scholastic uniform. In high school the neckerchief is replaced by a badge consisting of the bars with colors of the national flag and to the right, Che's signature; the symbol measures approximately 1.5 cm by 10 cm, in some cases is the symbol of the high school, and sewn directly on the white uniform shirt.
In 2001 it was elected to the Global 500 Roll of Honour of the United Nations Environment Programme for its environmental activities[cite web|title=THE JOSE MARTI PIONEER ORGANIZATION OF CUBA, ONE OF 18 INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS, TO RECEIVE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT AWARD |work=United Nations Environment Programme|url=http://www.unep.org/Documents.multilingual/Default.asp?DocumentID=201&ArticleID=2858&l=en|accessdate=June 29|accessyear=2006] .]ee also
