The story

Founded by Holger Tornøe and Ludvig Valentiner in 1902.1

The Frivilligt Drengeforbund (English: Voluntary Boy Association) was established by Holger Tornøe, a young architect and Sunday school teacher from Copenhagen, and Ludvig Valentiner. This organisation was founded on 27 October 1902 in Frederiksberg, and is Denmark's oldest uniformed youth association. Only boys could become members of Tornøe and Valentiner's Association. In 1952, the Frivilligt Pigeforbund (English: Voluntary Girl Association, FPF) was established with a similar structure and concept but which was instead for girls. In 1974 the two merged to form a joint youth organization open to both girls and boys. After the merger this association was called the FDF/FPF. In 1994, the name was simplified to FDF.
