The organizations, which are called ''bataljoner'' (battalions), were first formally organized in the 1850s and are run entirely by the youths themselves. Fourteen different such battalions are active in Bergen, each belonging to a certain part of town. In the past brigades were also formed in other Norwegian cities, but these were mostly defunct by the early 20th century.

Members range in age from about 7 to over 20, and adult veterans play a role in supporting the organizations and during certain events. The groups consist of privates (usually carrying wooden rifles or crossbows), officers (older children with more seniority) and drum ...
