Instead of the three kings - three scouts (01-10).

About a Three Kings' journey by gospel: "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and we've came to worship him." (Mt 2, 1-2)

Scouts had attended families, had spread the message of Christ's birth by telling the history of three kings, and by discussing other topics that are revelant to the youth. They had marked the doors by the three kings symbols +K +M +B.
