Lanzin Youth Organization (Burmese: လမ်းစဉ်လူငယ်အဖွဲ့ , lit. 'Programme Youth Organization') was a youth organization in Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma (present-day Myanmar) for high school and university students to learn useful skills and about the socialist politics of the Burma Socialist Programme Party. It consisted of three main branches: Teza Youth (Burmese: တေဇလူငယ် ,lit. 'Glorious Youth'), Shehsaung Youth (Burmese: ရှေ့ဆောင်လူငယ် ,lit. 'Pioneer Youth') and Lanzin Youth (Burmese: လမ်းစဉ်လူငယ် ,lit. 'Programme Youth'). Teza Youth wore blue scarf and Pioneer Youth wore the red scarf.
Establishment
The Revolutionary Government of the Union of Burma dissolved the Union of Burma Boy Scouts and Girl Guides (UBBSGG), Lieutenant Ye Htoon, the Director General of the UBBSGG, reported on 1 March 1964. The Revolutionary Government had seized the UBBSGG and the assets of the UBBSGG were turned over to the Ministry of Education, which was authorized to form the Lanzin Youth Orgination (Programme Youth Organization).
Structure
Students were required to join the organisation.
Within the organization of Lanzin Youth Organization, လမ်းစဉ်လူငယ်အဖွဲ့ (Programme Youth Organization), three branches were formed according to the age group and intellectual differences;
- Teza Youth, တေဇလူငယ် (Glorious Youth) for primary school students (5–9 years old),
- Shehsaung Youth, ရှေ့ဆောင်လူငယ် (Pioneer Youth) for middle and high school students and other teens of 10–15 years old, and
- Lanzin Youth, လမ်းစဉ်လူငယ် (Programme Youth) for college or university students and other youths of age of 16–25 years old.
After reaching the age of 18, they could become "candidate member of the party" (အရန်ပါတီဝင်). Then starting at the age of 21 years old, a candidate member could apply application forms to become a "fully-fledged party member" (တင်းပြည့်ပါတီဝင်).
In 1981, only 6.19% of members of Programme Youth Organization who had reached the age of 18 or above, joined the Burma Socialist Programme Party. This was a striking situation for the party. Thus, to persuade more youths to the organization and the party, Programme Youth Organizing Committees were opened on the campuses of the universities, institutes and colleges.

Legacy
According to the Political Pension Law of 1980, those who served in the Lanzin Youth Organizing Central Committee as chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, associate secretary, and committee member (full time) get political pension according to their positions as described in that law.
The Programme Youth Organization with all its subordinate structures were effectively dissolved in 1988 during civil unrest. The Burma Socialist Programme Party renamed itself to National Unity Party on 24 September 1988.
The Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar ordered the Ministry of Education to found the Myanmar Scouts Association in 2012, and students' Scouts Associations were founded in 20 schools as of December 2020.
