Najiluvist Young Pioneers Organization

The Najiluvist Young Pioneers (Veikan: Najiluvono Gareo Kekiforo), often shortened to Young Pioneers or sometimes just Pioneers, is a mass youth organization for children and adolescents aged 9 to 16 in the Council Republic of Veikaia. It is run and managed by the Veikan Communist Party's Youth League. The Najiluvist Pioneers are in many ways similar to other socialist states' pioneer organizations, with only minor differences. Pioneers learn many skills such as cooperation and camping, they are also given ideological classes supported by the communist party and attend publicly funded summer camps.

Goals and membership
The goals of the Veikan Young Pioneers Organization have been officially codified by the Youth League of the Communist Party in coordination with the Veikan Communist Party itself in the Najiluvist Young Pioneers Constitution. The constitution was passed on international children's day 1985, organizing the basic goals, rights and duties of every official Pioneers Battalion. According to the organization's constitution, the goals of the Young Pioneers are: "The proper introduction of the Veikan youth into socialist Duvalist and Najiluvist ideals, the teaching of proper social and interpersonal skills, personal growth with the learning of leadership skills, devotion to the party and nation and selflessness; as to one day become proper Veikan citizens.".

By 2006 over 63% of Veikan children, adolescents and young adults were current or past members of the Young Pioneers. This membership number is projected to grow further as the government pushes to further expand its reach into rural areas of the nation. While membership is officially not obligatory, those who refuse to participate when given the opportunity are generally seen with suspicion, and refusal from the organization to admit a new member is extremely rare. New members are introduced into the organization after a solemn ceremony where the new child swears fealty to the pioneers, party and nation and promises to follow the three principles of Najiluvist thought.

Organization
The Communist Party and its youth wing sought, to an extent, to organize the pioneers in a similar manner to the Najiluvist ideals of worker self-management and council democracy. This led to the formation of decentralized "cells" of pioneers with relatively high amounts of self-management by their adult organizers. Each school or village in the nation may organize a "Pioneers Battalion" of its own, which in turn is divided into "Pioneer Companies" which correspond to a class in case of schools or are assigned randomly in case of villages, and finally "Pioneer Teams" are finally formed from a handful of members from these companies. Each team elects a leader and assistant leader, which are chosen by the team itself with the supervision of an adult. The leader of each team may represent it in the Company Council, which in turn elect 2 representatives for the Battalion Council. The Battalion and Company councils are supervised by adults and deal with day to day low level organization, they may also make requests to the high level, adult, administration of the Battalion. Each Battalion is assigned a number of adult "counselors", which watch over the children and organize the high level management of the battalion. They are also tasked with ensuring the safety and good behavior of the members of each Battalion. Each battalion may present an older representative to their respective Regional Council of Pioneers, and then into the National Council of Pioneers.
