Young Pirates (German: Junge Piraten, JuPis) is the youth organisation of the Pirate Party of Germany. The organisation was founded in Wiesbaden on April 18, 2009, when the first board of directors was elected.[1] Then-15-year-old Carmelito Bauer was the first elected chairperson. Since then the board is elected yearly by the present members on their federal meeting. At the first federal meeting of members in 2009 the construction of the board of directors was changed. Since then it has included seven board members, the chairperson and its deputy, the secretary general, the treasurer as well as three assessors.

The structure of the board has again been significantly altered at the regular general assembly in March 2014. It is now divided into the administrative council, consisting of the treasurer and secretary general, and two or more spokespersons.[2] The spokespersons' explicit purpose is to represent the organisation politically.

At the same general assembly, a 50% quota of non-male people in the spokespersons' council has been decided upon.[3] The decision remains controversial within the Young Pirates.[4]

Regional organisations exist in Lower Saxony,[5] North Rhine-Westphalia,[6] Schleswig-Holstein,[7] Hamburg,[8] Thuringia,[9] Saxony[10] and Berlin.[11] No membership to the mother party is necessary. There exists no minimum age for a membership, but a limiting age of 28 years (membership ends with the 28th birthday). This limit is not valid for honorary members.
