Socialist boy/girl scouts would be incredible. Building solidarity, learning useful skills, having book and debate clubs, being educated about consent and deconstruction… The dream. Rn I only know for the West but it’s linked to churches and armies so meh
I know a few socialists who are in the youth work sector (young adult social work, one of the activities is taking them camping with other colleauges and they teach life skills) and do exactly this, might be worth looking into as a career path!
Yeah, that dream… I wish my childhood was that colorful. Too bad, here in the Philippines, its just either Scouting as a subject or the Catholic youth orgs and the sacristy… I wish I experienced wearing the red scarf.
Socialist boy/girl scouts are called ‘Young Pioneers’ - e.g. Young Pioneers of Cuba or Young Pioneers of China. They look like scouts except for the red neckerchiefs. idk if any organisations exist outside socialist countries or if they’re allowed to - Hong Kong still has scouts because of the ‘no imposing socialist values’ part of the joint declaration.

Soviet pioneers too.
Although I’m told they have different underlying philosophies from scouts.
Similar take, it was and still is prepping boys for war, problem is they are just super dorky now lol.
Also, were the youth communist leagues similar to the Scouts?
