Young Eagles (Estonian youth organisation)

Although sponsored by the Estonian Defence League and having many members wearing military camouflage uniforms, the Young Eagles is not a defence organisation (or a part of the Estonian military).

The 15 battalion-size regional units (malev) consist of separate platoons and sometimes company-sized subunits (malevkond).

The objective of the organisation is to raise young people as good citizens with healthy bodies and minds.

Activities include: The organization also participates in numerous events, camps and competitions.
