Contributions of the combative traditions of the cuban people to the Movement of Pioneer Explorers

Abstract

The origin and evolution of the Pioneer Scout Movement finds diverse criteria among scholars and practitioners; some associate it to the Boy Scouts or the explorers; others, to the contribution of the combative traditions and the struggle of the Cuban people for their national independence. To demonstrate this last affirmation is the objective of the present work, for which the analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive methods and analysis of documents of the history of Cuba, campaign diaries, books and diverse materials of the socio-cultural heritage were used that, in their fertile and substantial examination, confirmed the evidential elements that originated this investigation.
