Youth and youth organizations have become important factors in the life of the country. A lot of youth organizations have been formed since the Second World War, uniting young people from all classes and sections of the population. There are about 60 youth organizations in Great Britain.
All youth organizations can be divided into three large groups: non-political organizations; youth organizations associated with political parties; youth organizations controlled by religious bodies.
The two largest non-political youth organizations are the associations of the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides. There are about 1300 000 boys and girls in them. The membership is voluntary. The Boy Scouts had left-handed handshake, special badge and the motto “Be Prepared”. The Girl Guides Association was founded in 1910. It’s divided into three sections: Brownies (from 7,5 to 11), Guides (from 11 to 16), Rangers (from 16 to 21). There are some other non-political organizations: the Combined Cadet Force, Sea Cadet Corps, the Woodcraft Folk, the Youth Hostels Association, Greenpeace. Youth Organization Greenpeace deals with most urgent ecological problems. It protests against nuclear
weapon tests, sea and soil pollution, etc. Sport clubs are characteristic youth organizations in the UK. There are also interest clubs. The UN operates a host of other economic and social programs.
