In an interview before the election Damon Albarn was reported to have been a member of the Woodcraft Folk in childhood. This was the English alternative to the Boy/Girl Scouts on the one hand and the Young Pioneers on the other. It was promoted by Communists and left wing socialists eg members of the co-operative movement. Perhaps in a quiet way it was quite successful. It appears probably to be a form of Communist united front politics. Did it exist in other countries? Does anyone know anything about its history?
