On the county level, citizens’ activity can be strengthened by a youth county council. The article first discusses the history of these bodies as well as their current popularity and condition. The author also tries to create their definition and outline the establishment procedure. While pointing to the legal basis of the establishment acts, the author gives several reasons why youth county councils are not legal in the current circumstances. Youth county councils and youth municipal councils are compared on the basis of their activity. In the final part of the article, the author points out why those bodies should have a legal basis on the national level.
