Young Citizens Volunteers

The Young Citizen Volunteers is the youth section of the Ulster Volunteer Force, a paramilitary group. It is exclusively Protestant and advocates an extreme form of political unionism, and has often been accused of involvement in the drugs trade. Many of its members go on to join the UVF. Its inaugural meeting was held in Belfast City Hall on 10 September 1912, just prior to the signing of the Ulster Solemn League and Covenant (please see the Ulster Covenant). The objectives of the organisation were to attend weekly drills to learn "modified military and police drill, single stick, rifle and baton exercises, signalling, knot-tying and other such exercises". If possible members were also to gain some knowledge of "life-saving and ambulance work". The constitution of the YCV insisted that members should not take part in any political meeting or demonstration. They were stated as being ‘non-sectarian and non-political’ and their objectives were considered to be : "... to develop the spirit of responsible citizenship and municipal patriotism by means of lectures and discussions on civic matters.... to cultivate, by means of modified military and police drill, a manly physique, with habits of self control, self-respect and chivalry....to assist as an organisation, when called upon, the civil power in the maintenance of peace". However it quickly dropped this stance and, along with the UVF, threatened to rebel against the government of the United Kingdom if the Home Rule Act of 1914 was implemented. Membership was open to anyone aged between eighteen and thirty-five who was over five feet in height and could present "credentials of good character". In May 1914 with the gathering momentum of the Home Rule crisis and with many Young Citizens feeling betrayed by the British government the YCVs applied for membership of the UVF and became a battalion of that group's Belfast "regiment", going on to be part of the Royal Irish Rifles. The YCV were re-established in the 1970's as the youth wing of the "new" UVF. Royal Irish Rifles
