Eduard Jarnot - the fox - was born on October 9, 1946, in Louky nad Olší in the Karviná region. He began scouting thanks to the literature and magazines that he found at home and that had belonged to his brothers who started a reader’s club named “Mladý hlasatel” in Louky during the war. In 1964 he completed technical school extramurally. In 1968, during the second renewal of the Junák, he finally became a Scout. He began to lead the 1st boy Scout troop in Louky nad Olší, which existed until 1970. In 1970 he also had to leave the University, because he refused to sign a declaration that said he had made mistakes in the education of youngsters. He had also refused to join the communist party. After the revolution in 1989 he started to lead a Scout group again. This time it was the 5th girls Scout troop in Česky Těšín. Around this time he also attended the Ecumenical Forest School, after which he became an instructor at forest schools. He works to this day as an instructor in Podbeskydská forest school and in 2006 he became the headmaster of the school. He was awarded with the Syrinx (bronze) and Syrinx (silver) badges for his activities in the Scout movement. Since 2006 he has collaborated in the preparations for the Wolfram event. In 2010 he joined the members of the Svojsík troop. For many years he was a rolling mill worker. He is now married and has two daughters. His whole family was strongly influenced by the Scout movement.
