The Deutsche Freischar – Bund der Wandervögel und Pfadfinder (DF) is a German youth organization.
In 1926 the DF originated from the association of the Großdeutscher Pfadfinderbund (itself an association of the Bund Deutscher Neupfadfinder and Bund der Ringpfadfinder) with the Altwandervogel, Deutsche Jungenschaft, the Wandervogel, Deutscher Jungenbund and the Reichsstand, Gefolgschaft deutscher Wandervögel forming the Bund der Wandervögel und Pfadfinder.
[2] Until 1928 several smaller groups joined; at the end of 1929 the DF had 12,000 members (among them 1500 women and girls).
[1] On May 4, 1930 the DF and the Großdeutscher Jugendbund (under Admiral Adolf von Trotha) united under the name Deutsche Freischar.
On June 17, 1933 the DF together with other member organizations of the Großdeutscher Bund was prohibited by Baldur von Schirach, who was appointed Jugendführer des Deutschen Reiches (Youth Leader of the German Reich) shortly before.
