The relevance of the topic of our work is determined by the fact that currently youth organizations are of great importance in the modern world.

To find differences and similarities in both countries

to identify the most common British and Russian youth organizations metal and its types.

Relevance and practical significance of the work:

We can get lots of new information, use it in the research as I did. To work with the different texts, develop our attention skills, logic by ignoring extra information.

In the work I used the following research methods:

generalization

Youth has always been regarded to be the nicest period of human lives. It is the period when young people can be carefree without the burden of responsibility which brings the parenthood or daily winning of ones bread. But youth, seemingly a free time of life, also brings some specific problems.

It is the period of life when people make the most important decisions that can have fatal consequences for their future family and career. These decisions, and also the difficult period of early parenthood or professional career, following abruptly the carefree period of early youth, demands personal maturity.

Policies affecting young people cover a wide range of activities from education, health and housing to employment, criminal justice and participation in public life. This means an increasingly important role for youth policy within mainstream politics which requires a more integrated approach to the needs of young people, intensified contact with youth organizations and further involvement in practical activities such as youth work, non-formal approaches to education, volunteering and development.

Pressing social problems such as racism, unemployment, unhealthy lifestyles, intolerance, discrimination against minorities, gender inequality and lack of integration for people with disabilities pose significant challenges both for the present and the next generation .

The problems of young people reflect the problems of society as a whole, but these are more striking, as young people are more vulnerable, given that they are more dependent. To many it might think that youth itself is a problem but it is better and more fruitful to see young people as a solution to a problem, as an asset and base on which the societies of the future can be built.

There’re a lots of youth organizations in the world. They play an important role in the life of teenagers and young people. They help them to make new friends, to work as a team, to find things they are interested in and do some public work.

That is why it is important to concentrate on the youth organizations and their activities and to try to figure out how it might serve the honorable purpose of building up a new society.

Youth organizations in the UK

There are many national organizations in the UK that have been established to provide services to people under the age of 18. There are about 60 youth organizations in Great Britain.

Military cadet organizations

The Air Training Corps (ATC) is a British cadet organisation .

Activities include sport, hill walking, parade drill, rock climbing, rifle shooting, fieldcraft and other outdoor activities, as well as the study of subjects related to aviation, leading to a national vocational diploma.

A teenager can join at the age of 12 or school year 8 as a junior cadet and earn positions of increasing responsibility in a military rank structure, as well as having increasing skill and competence recognised in a classification scheme.

The Army Cadet Force (ACF) is a British youth organisation that offers training and experience around a military training theme including adventurous training, at the same time as promoting achievement, discipline, and good citizenship, to boys and girls aged 12 to 18 years

Scouting organisations

The Scout movement was intended for boys from 11 to 14 (15), but in 1916 Baden Powell introduced a programme for younger people. He called them Wolf Cubs. They had special uniforms, badges, a special training system and the motto “Do your best!”. The Wolf Cub pack is based on Kipling’s “Jungle Book” about learning to survive.

The Woodcraft Folk is UK wide children’s and young person’s charity with groups in England, Scotland, Wales and the North of Ireland. It seeks to develop self confidence and activity in society, with the aim of building a world based on equality, friendship, peace and co-operation.

The Girl Guides Association was founded by Baden Pawell in 1910. It’s divided into three sections: Brownies (from 7.5 to 11), Guides (from 11 to 16), Rangers (from 16 to 21). The programme of training is planned to develop intelligence and practical skills including cookery, needlework, childcare. Like a Scout a Girl Guide must be a friend to animals. The Girl Guides Association has extensive international links.

Voluntary Youth Organizations.

Voluntary youth organizations form a large part of the youth services in Britain. Most English youth organizations belong to the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS).

Religious organizations in Britain include plenty of different organizations, representing lots of faiths (the Methodist Association of Youth Club, YMCA, Protestant Boy's Brigade, etc.).

Club organizations, which are not religious, include the National Association of Boy's Club, the Cooperative Youth Movement and many school clubs associated with schools and sport centers. These movements are free to decide on their own organization and activities, but they all work on the principle of supplying young people with creative and constructive activities, both indoors and outdoors. Many of these clubs are organized by local educational authorities, but most are run by volunteers. Most clubs are small and open one or more night a week.

Regular activities of youth clubs may include badminton, basketball, darts, fitness, judo and etc. Group of members may also meet for drama, art and music, running a club magazine.

Many youth club members enjoy helping other people, by doing jobs for old and infirm people, or by helping charities.

Boy's Brigade is an international organization for boys from 6 to 18. It works to develop Christian beliefs among its members through educational, religious, physical and social activities. The Boy's Brigade is active chiefly in Great Britain and about 60 other countries, including Australia, New Zealand and many African countries.

The Boy's Brigade was founded in 1833 in Glasgow, Scotland, by Williams Alexander Smith, a Scottish merchant. It was one of the first uniformed youth organizations.

Youth Organization Greenpeace deals with most urgent ecological problems. It protests against nuclear weapon tests, sea and soil pollution, etc.

The Youth Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (YCND) unites young people and organizes mass rallies and meetings, demonstrations, marches of protest, festivals. It co-operates with the National Union of Students.

Youth organizations in Russia

The decline of associations that brought together young people came in our country simultaneously with the collapse of the USSR. However, since 2000, public organizations, political parties and the state have begun to pay attention to the issues of working with the younger generation again. The list of youth organizations in Russia was significantly expanded in 2005 .

The list of youth organizations in Russia today includes more than 427 thousand different children's and youth associations.

Young guards unified Russia

Founded in 2005, it uses the name of the famous Young Guard, a World War II underground organization. The Young Guard was founded to unite Russian youth, to engage young people into social-political life of Russia. The organization develops projects in many categories, e.g. "Volunteering", "Youth Electoral Campaigning", "Healthy Nation", "Accessible Environment", "Innovator", "Street Energy", 'My History', 'My Territory', "Youth Parliamentarianism", "Youth Federal Assembly", "Senses Factory", etc.

Scouting in Russia

Scouting in Russia comprises several dozen Scout associations, based on religion, politics and geography. At the end of the 1990s, several of the associations formed the "All-Russian National Scouting Organisation" ("ARNSO) All-Russian National Scouting Organisation.

"Union of Pioneer Organizations—Federation of Children's Organizations"

SPO-FDO is the International Union of Children's Public Associations "Union of Pioneer Organizations—Federation of Children's Organizations", which unites legal entities - children's public organizations, unions, associations and other public associations created with the participation of children or in their interests. SPO-FDO strives to create favorable conditions for the realization of the interests, needs of children and children's projects, children's knowledge of the world around them, education of a citizen of their country and the global democratic community, protection of the rights and interests of children and children's organizations, strengthening interethnic and international ties. SPO-FDO helps children to navigate in modern conditions, to work in such a way that it is not only interesting, but also beneficial for each person and society; to live in a society on democratic foundations; combine kindness and justice, mercy and humanity with respect for each member of the organization.

" Guards"

The military -sports club " Guards" is located in Staraya Kupavna. The cadets of the club are participants of the parade on Red Square, winners and prize-winners of various military sports competitions and games. In addition, they make jumps at the Kirzhach airfield. According to the reviews of the guys, they learned a lot in the "Guards", which will undoubtedly be useful in life. By the way, classes at the military sports club are free: in parachute, drill, fire, medical and physical training!

Conclusion

Having considered only a few youth organizations, we can say that young people in the UK are more involved in scouting , while the youth of Russia chooses patriotic organizations.

The prospects of children's and youth associations are obvious, because young people are leading the way in the development of the country. Young specialists make a significant contribution to the modernization of society, both at the human and technological level.

The conducted research makes it possible to identify a number of problems that require special study. This is the identification of trends in the development of the socio-cultural situation in Britain and Russia, which affect the change of interests, attitudes and orientations of young people in the field of free pastime, the study of real behaviors of modern adolescents and youth in their free time.
