Program and Ideals
The ZTS is one of the few Scout associations that is still influenced by the ideas of Ernest Thompson Seton and his Woodcraft movement.
The Scout emblem dates from the Yugoslav era and incorporates a Scout campfire and a Woodcraft tepee on three pine trees in the shape of Slovenia’s highest mountain Triglav, the Slovene national symbol.
ZTS is divided in five age sections:
- Murni (Pre Cub Scouts) - younger than 7
- Medvedki in Čebelice (Cub Scouts) - ages 7 to 11
- Gozdovniki in Gozdovnice (Scouts) - ages 11 to 16
- Popotniki in Popotnice (Venture Scouts) - ages 16 to 21
- Grče - 21 and older

Famous quotes containing the words program and/or ideals:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“With the breakdown of the traditional institutions which convey values, more of the burdens and responsibility for transmitting values fall upon parental shoulders, and it is getting harder all the time both to embody the virtues we hope to teach our children and to find for ourselves the ideals and values that will give our own lives purpose and direction.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
