Özet: Similar to the Scouting organizations of the Western world, pioneer organization was a communnist child organization of the Soviet Union for children of age 10–15. In the Soviet Union, the first pioneer organization was established in 1922 in Moscow. Attending state funded organizations in different cities of the Soviet Union, pioneers received education in many fields including sports, crafts, literature, etc. The main aim of the organization was, through education of children, to create a new socialist society. Also, the pioneers were expected to contribute to development of the economy and the Soviet Army. Based on primary sources such as archival documents obtained from RGASPİ (Rossisky Gosudarstvennıy Arhiv Sotsialno-Politicheskoi İstorii) and the journals, including Vozhati (вожатый), Sovetskaia Pedagogika (советская педагогика) and Pioner (пионер), this paper aims to analyze war training activities for the pioneers in the Soviet Union and also army-military related activities of All-Union Pioneer Organization that they undertook to contribute to the success of the Soviet Army during the Second World War.
