During and after World War II, until the early 1950s, Scouting and Guiding flourished in these camps. These Scout and Girl Guide groups often provided postal delivery and other basic services in displaced persons camps. This working system was duplicated dozens of times around the world. In the present, Scouting and Guiding once again provide services and relief in camps throughout war-torn Africa.

Dob is a Slovene toponym, found in Slovenia, Austria and Italy. It derives from a Proto-Slavic word dǫbъ (oak). The word dob is today used exclusively for Quercus robur, as other oak species have progressively taken other names. Toponyms having their root in the word "dob" are sometimes hard to distinguish from other similar Slovene words —— particularly dober, and dobra, which can be used to refer to many other types of places.
