Dana Procházková was born in 1929 in Pilsen where she also spent her childhood. She joined the Scouts after 1945, but she had already been meeting former Girl Scouts during the war. She became the leader of the Jiřičky (‘Martins’) patrol, she took part in woodcraft school for leaders, and later she also became the leader of the troop. The troop’s activities came to an end after the ban on Scouting was imposed in 1948. Dana Procházková graduated from secondary school and she began working as a clerk in the Škoda factory in Pilsen. Even after the ban on the Junák organization she took part in meetings of the university students’ Rover clan called Kruh (‘Circle’). She married in 1950, and her daughter Jana and son Jiří were born. She was not actively involved in the restoration of Scouting in 1968, as she was studying pedagogy at a university at that time. In the 1990s she served as the regional educational official and she helped to organize educational courses for Scouts. Dana Procházková died on May 13, 2014.
