- Title
A SURVEY OF BOYS' ORGANISATIONS IN SOUTHAMPTON.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article focuses on a survey of boys' organizations in Southampton, England as of January 1932. The history of work among boys in Southampton on modern lines would, without doubt, throw much light on the present position of boys' organizations; but no enquiry into this has been possible. The chief boys' organizations actively at work today are the Boy Scouts, the Church Lads' Brigade, the Boys' Brigade, and a good number of Boys' Clubs of various types. Account must also be taken of organizations which include boys along with adults in their membership, and of Industrial Welfare Work which affects boys. There is much purely religious work among boys; organizations for this purpose, however, are in general, excluded from the scope of this survey. Some institutions for dealing with special problems such as the Gordon Boys' Brigade and the Toc H. Hostel for sea-going boys also require attention. There is at present in Southampton no central body which has the welfare of boys as its sole object; the Council of Social Service, however, is undertaking certain responsibilities in this respect. There is no Federation of Boys' Clubs, and no Juvenile Organizations Committee; but there are Churches Football League and a Junior Cricket League which help to arrange matches between various boys' organizations.
