Organizational structure
All Vovkulaky belong to an Ulad' - depending on age. There are two Ulads - ages 18-30, and 31-150. Each ulad is led by an "oboznyy" and "suddya", who are chosen at annual meetings. Kurins are then su-divided into plemya, with each large city hosting a plemya. Vovkulaky who live outside major cities can choose which plemya they want to join, depending on which city they visit most frequently. Plemya are led by a "pleminny", who is elected at annual meetings.
The motto of the Vovkulaky is "One for all and all for one". The patron is the Zaporizhian Otaman Ivan Sirko.
