Flanders has a remarkable tradition of youth movements. About a quarter million children and youngsters participate weekly in one of the various youth movements active in our part of the country. Chiro is one of the biggest: in about one thousand local groups, Chiro Flanders unites around 100,000 members. In almost every municipality, Chiro is active in one or even several parishes.

Local groups are autonomous and are guided by young people (17 years and older), who form the leadership team. Every Sunday afternoon, the five sections (peer groups) meet up to play all sorts of games.
