Vlasta Koseová (née Štěpánová, May 21, 1895, in Sedlec, Austria-Hungary – September 29, 1973, in Prague, Czechoslovakia) was the founder of Czech Girl Scouting.[1] In January 1915, the first Girl Scouts were introduced, under her leadership, and shortly thereafter, a Junák section for Guide Education was established. In 1923 she married Dr. Jaroslav Kose, who was executed in 1942 in Brno Kounic college.[2] For her work in Scouting, she received top Junák Girl Scouting honors including Order of the Silver Trefoil.[citation needed]
