1. Who are the Woodcraft Folk?
Founded in 1925, the Woodcraft Folk is an educational movement for children and young people, designed to develop self confidence and participation in society, with the aim of building a world based on equality, friendship, peace and co-operation. There are groups throughout the United Kingdom. Weekly meetings give children the opportunity to take part in a programme which includes craft work, drama, singing and dancing, discussions and co-operative games. Outdoor activities include camping, hiking, hostelling and other pursuits.
