Encyclopedia > Fianna Eireann

Fianna Éireann is an Irish republican youth movement, along the lines of the Boy Scouts. It was founded in 1909 by Countess Markievicz and Bulmer Hobson, with the goal of encouraging the youth of Ireland to embrace their own heritage, rather than that of England. It was felt that Baden-Powell's Boy Scouts emphasised a British identity, which negated Irish separatism.
