Frivilligt Drenge- og Pigeforbund, FDF ("Voluntary Boy and Girl Association") is a Danish, Christian children and youth organisation with approx. 25,000 members (2009). FDF was established by Holger Tornøe (A sundayschool-teacher) and Ludvig Valentiner, on October 27, 1902 in Frederiksberg in Copenhagen, and thus is Denmark's oldest uniformed children and youth association.

The activities in FDF are in many ways similar to those of the scouts. However, there are some differences, including the fact that in FDF children are always led by adults, and FDF is not a member of any of the scouting World associations. In stead, FDF is a member of Fimcap, European Fellowship and Global Fellowship.

FDF has different age groups for the children. Group leaders are from 18 years.
