The Society for Sport and Technology (Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik or GST) provided pre-military training and technical sports (such as scuba diving, aviation, skydiving) for ages 14 and up. The GST and its instructors also ran mandatory pre-military summer camps for high school students.

A red flag with GST symbol in center. The symbol showed a vertical anchor with crossed propeller and rifle, all in grey, surrounded by a circular figure, the top half a yellow half wreath, the bottom half a black half-cog wheel with the yellow letters GESELLSCHAFT FÜR SPORT UND TECHNIK. The flag was flown at parades and in GST-camps. Unlike Jaume Ollé's original image, the GST-symbol is oval not round.
