RARE! 1949 SOVIET YOUNG PIONEER LEADER BELT WITH BRASS BUCKLE The Pioneer movement was not created at first as a national group. Rather units were set up at work sites. The first Pioneer groups were founded at industrial plants. The first plant to establish a Pioneer unit was "Red Presnya" (May 19, 1922). Much was drawn from Scouting to form this first unit. Membership was at first resticted to socilly acceptable groups, especially workers. Units were soon organized in other plants and factories. The early program was for children 10 to 15 years old. The parents had to be from the "working people". The children to enter the Pioneer movement could not have fathers who were the owner's of factories or rural estates or officers in the Tsarist Army. The same was true for mother's with similar family backgrounds. The Bolsheviks looked on such people as class enemies. Leaders for the Pioneer groups were assigned from the Komosol organization. The Komosol was organized in plants and factories. The Komosol subsequently became the ALL-UNION LENIN YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE (VLKSM). The Komosol was organized along the same line as the Communist Party but for youths and young adults 14 to 27 years of age.
