The most popular children organization is the Woodcraft Folk, founded in Britain in 1925. It joins children of three groups: Elfins, Pioneers and Venturers. Elfins, the youngest members of the Woodcraft Folk Organization, play different games, go in for sports, sing and dance. Pioneers live in camps in the country. They learn how to make a fire and make tea on it, how to find their way in the forest, they study trees, flowers. There are ten members in a section of Pioneers or Elfins. The leader of the section is a Venturer, who organizes children and helps them in their games and studies.

But the largest youth organizations in the UK are the associations of the Boy Scouts and the Girls Guides. They unite about 1,5 million boys and girls. The movement of Boy Scouts was founded in 1908. A scout must be able to handle sails, to use a compass, to make a fire out of doors, he must know the first aid and develop his interest in music, literature, drama, arts and films.

The Girl Guide Association, founded in 1910, is divided into three sections: Brownies, Guides and Rangers. The programme of training is planned to develop intelligence and practical skills including cookery, needlework and childcare. Boy Scouts and Girl Guides aim to develop into good people and useful citizens. They must be friends with animals. They must be loyal to God and the Queen. Their motto is "to be pure in thoughts, words and deeds".
