Short historical background:
In 1938 the Polish Boy Scout Association presented a WWS-1 Salamandra to the Hungarian Boy Scout Association on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the latter's foundation. The glider got the name "Czuwaj" which was the polish version of the standard Boy Scout motto. This advanced training glider became very popular among the Air Scouts.
