DID YOU KNOW? Children and youth participated in Canadian Red Cross work as early as the Boer War (1899-1902), but the Junior Red Cross as an organized program emerged after the First World War (1914-18) showed the potential of children’s energy and enthusiasm. The Canadian Red Cross was one of the pioneering national societies when it came to the Junior Red Cross, but the idea spread around the world in the 1920s, making Canadian Juniors part of an international youth movement.
