Program
The association is divided in three age-groups:
- Kinderstufe - Cub Scouts (ages 7 to 10)
- Pfadfinderstufe - Scouts (ages 10 to 15)
- Roverstufe - Rover Scouts (ages 16 to 20)
There is also a special branch for adults in Scouting, the Erwachsenenarbeit, which aims at all members older than 18 years including leaders and non-leaders.
Like most German Scout associations, the VCP emphasizes on youth leadership. Most patrol leaders start at 16 and most leaders up to district level are younger than 25.

Nothing can happen until I get there.’”
