District Fellows (also known as DFs) is the name given to the 16- to 20-year-old age group of the Woodcraft Folk, a UK-based cooperative educational movement for children and young people. It operates both on a local group level and as a semi-autonomous movement within the Woodcraft Folk. Woodcraft Folk is very strongly in favour of youth empowerment—to this end the 16- to 20-year-old age group is largely run by the young people. Groups Individual DF groups are usually based in a town or city, or in some cases a region. DF group meetings usually consist of a group of like minded individuals meeting up at a regular time and place and taking part in usual woodcraft activities such as co-operative games, organising events, workshops and discussions about the Woodcraft Folk's aims and principles and general socialising. DFs also help with the running of the younger groups: Venturers, Pioneers, Elfins, and Woodchips. The movement has recently set up the New Roots Fund which aims to give grants to new and in need groups. *Activism Rep This role facilitates DFs links to wider social movements.
