They have something called 'Woodcraft Folk' in the UK. It is a mixed group with an environmentally concious slant (probably not unlike the Scout movement).

4-H has been a wonderful experience for my son. As a younger child, he did hands on club projects. The teenage years offer a great deal in terms of developing leadership skills and extracurricular work. For example, last fall he was a member of a forestry judging team. The teens have raised money for a ski trip, do community service work together, etc. Terrific organization.

called Roots & Shoots, I've heard many good things about. If it's not in your area, then maybe you could start one yourself. I think Camp Fire Kids is still around in parts of the country, too.
