In Minsk on February 8, another pioneer holiday took place, in which more than 500 Belarusian schoolchildren from different cities of the country participated. Belarus is perhaps the only country in the post -Soviet space, which retained the continuity of the pioneer movement after the collapse of the USSR. BRPO, the Belarusian Republican Pioneer Organization, is counting on its activities from September 13, 1990. For this holiday, Belarusian pioneers were preparing for six months: its culmination was the contest of ceremonial-ceremony detachments "Equal to the banner!". Most participants in the event are about 14 years old, and soon they will have to join the BRSM, an analogue of the Soviet Komsomol, the Belarusian Republican Youth Union, which the people are often called "Lukomol".
