We do not know much about youth groups in Barbados. The primary youth group is the Boys Scouts. The first troops were for British boys. We are not sure about troops for black boys and how the movement dealt with integration. Of course the vast majority of Barnadians are people of African discent brought to Barbados to work on sugar plantations. While there is some limited information on the Scouts, there is very little information on other organizations. We note Sea Scouting as part of Biy Scout movement. We are not sure about the Guide movement for girls. As far as we can tell, the girls were not as interested as the boys. But we do see some Girl Guides. We also are not sure about the Boys' Brigade, a group common in British Commonwealth countries. We also notice the YMCA active in Barbados. The Mknistry of Youth and Community Empowerment promotes youth sports as a positive force abnd to reduce vilenc among young people
