FDFs members are organized in about 400 local groups all over Denmark as well as in the province of Slesvig in Northern Germany. The children of each local FDF group are divided into different age groups.

All age groups meet every week, and they also go on weekend trips and summer camps.

FDF activities contain indoor as well as outdoor activities and are organised by unpaid volunteers.

The age groups in FDF

FDF offers weekly meetings for children and youth in the following age groups:

• Puslinge: 5 - 7 years
• Tumlinge: 7 - 9 years
• Pilte: 9 - 11 years
• Væbnere: 11 - 13 years
• Seniorvæbnere: 13 - 15 years
• Seniorer: 15 - 18 years
• Leaders: From 18 years

The local FDF groups are organised in municipal, regional and national levels as well as in different national comitees.

The local group in the parish

All FDF groups are associated with the local parish.

But even though FDF is associated with the Danish national church, the organization also counts some leaders from other Christian communities.

FDF is actively involved in many church activities and the church is actively involved in e.g. leader training. At national and regional camps many pastors are responsible for our divine services. Many FDF leaders are members of their local parish council.
