Arvīds Brēdermanis (1900–1970), a Latvian official and founder of the Latvian Scouting movement
In Tartu, three Scout troops—the 5th, 6th, and 7th Dorpat Troops—were formed completely or primarily of Latvian boys from evacuated Riga schools.
•
K. Perešs, former leader of the 5th Troop, placed an appeal in the daily newspaper Jaunākās Ziņas on 8 April 1917, for the boys from Tartu to meet up and found a Scout Group in Riga.
•
As a result, a new troop (officially known as the 92nd Russian Troop) was founded on 17 April 1917, with Perešs as Scout Leader and Brēdermanis as Patrol Leader.
