The international organization is called Sokol, founded in Prague,
Czechoslovakia, in 1862, by Dr. Miroslav Tyrs. He based his program on
the democratic principles of the ancient Greeks and their idea of
developing, "a sound mind in a sound body." Dr. Tyrs coined the phrase,
"A Sound Mind in a Sound Body."

Sokol came to the United States in 1865 and has continued to bring these
ideals to people of all ages and abilities around the country for over
135 years. Sokol USA was founded in 1896 in New York City as a benefit
society based on the ideals of Tyrs. Sokol USA continues to operate
under these guidelines today offering a wide variety of life insurance
benefits for all members. Lodge 306 was formed as part of Sokol USA in
the 1940's and has operated in the Chicago area ever since. In 1962, we
built and opened our current home at the Sokol Community Center on
Elston Ave.
The Lodge 306 philosophy is one that follows the ideals of Dr. Tyrs and
Sokol USA; that of Physical Fitness through gymnastics for all ages
and ability levels.
Each year, Lodge 306 gymnasts perform in a lodge exhibition for parents
and are given an opportunity to compete against other Sokols in the area
and from around the country at our "slet".
