The organisation has around 3,000 members in the ages 6–25 all over Sweden. Leaders sometimes encourage young members to avoid factory farmed food, and young members have been involved in protests. The organisation has published important texts on topics such as forestry preservation.

“A nobleman who is wicked is by nature a monster.”

O youth the cities have sent
to strike at each other’s strength,
it is you who have kept her alight.”
