Abstract
During the interwar period, one of the programmes that engendered considerable
interest within the Red Cross Movement was the Junior Red Cross. Described
as 'one of the best guarantees for the permanence of the peacetime work of the
Red Cross Society', the Junior Red Cross tapped into a new and prescribed role
that children and youth could play within Red Cross into the future. 1 Youth were
viewed optimistically by sections of the Red Cross, arguing that they could play
a role in leading the world out 'of the dark jungle of old passions between nation
and nation'. 2 The links that could be established between the various national
Junior Red Cross programmes concerning international friendship and good will
would create an awareness of other nationalities and cultures, and improve international relations through the establishment of a global children's network.
