Abstract
Deborah McCahon, the current chief executive, provides an introductory overview to Woodcraft Folk, its history, and current activities. She emphasises the importance the organisation has given to co-operation, how this has involved communities, and ensured young people’s connections with both local and global issues. She notes the significant role that international camps have played within the organisation and how environmentalism has been a major feature of its activities since its formation in 1925.
