Youth Organization
Nationell Ungdom was the youth organization of the Swedish Resistance Movement. However, in May 2006 they announced the youth organization as dismantled and all its members and activities are now part of the main organization. The main reason given was that "no youth organization has never made any revolutionary changes of society" and that it would be better if the young recruits are groomed as adults, as the members of the Volkssturm in 1945.

Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or organization:
“Organize first for knowledge, first with the object of making us know ourselves as a nation, for we have to do that before we can be of value to other nations of the world and then organize to accomplish the things that you decide to want. And ... don’t make decisions with the interest of youth alone before you. Make your decisions because they are good for the nation as a whole.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
