HEROLD JUNIOR, Carlos. A educação corporal no Paraná através do movimento escoteiro em Guarapuava (1927-1936). Educ. Rev. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.02, pp.123-150. ISSN 0102-4698.
The goal of this paper is to analyze the representations and practices done by boys-scouts groups in Guarapuava, betwee 1928 and 1936. As primaries sources were utilized, predominantly, newspapers published in the city during the period. Having the methodological tools made up by Chartier (2002) and Certeau (2007), we studied the corporeal education carried out by the boy-scout movement, dividing the text in three different parts: first, we put emphasis in the massive presence of corporeal education in the Brazilian boys-scout movement. Secondly, we did the same task focusing on the Paraná State. In the end, we scrutinized the value put in the corporeal education put by the boys-scouts practices which took place in Guarapuava. As conclusion, we could see that the boys-scout movement that existed in Guarapuava absorbed, in its educational practices, the modern pedagogical precepts which gave great attention to the body education, creating some conditions to make it schooled.
