Figure 1.--The VNJ does not appear to have different uniforms for boys of different ages. The different age groups, hoever, do appear to be organized in separate age groupings.

The Flemish VNJ, rather like the Hitler Youth, are fond of drum and buggle corps. We have also noted larger bands rather like Scout Bands we have seen in Britain. We are not sure how many VNJ units have bands or if there are competitioins like the ones in Britain. One popular event for VNJ groups is the annual Zang Feest. I have liitle information about this event. The VNJ groups have drum and bugle corps. I assume singing is also involved, but do not know at this time. The Zangfeest pictured here was held in April 2000.

VNJ Bands

The Flemish VNJ, rather like the Hitler Youth, are fond of drum and buggle corps. We believe that vurtually every VNJ unit has a drum band or a drum and buggle band. We have, however, also noted larger bands like the one seen here (figure 1). This one looks rather like Scout Bands we have seen in Britain. We are not sure how many VNJ units have bands or if there are competitioins like the ones in Britain.
