What is the name of Peter Pan’s group of boys in Neverland?

The story behind the answer

Peter Pan’s group of boys in Neverland is called the Lost Boys.

In Barrie’s story, the Lost Boys are children who fell out of their prams and were not reclaimed. They live in Neverland under Peter’s leadership and take part in adventures against Captain Hook and his pirates.

The Lost Boys are not simply Peter’s classmates. They form a distinct community with their own underground home, games and rivalries. Different stage and screen adaptations may change the number, names or personalities of individual boys, but the collective name remains “the Lost Boys.”

The group reflects one of the story’s central ideas: Neverland offers children freedom from adult rules, but it is also dangerous and unstable. Their adventures sit alongside Wendy’s role as a storyteller and caretaker, creating a contrast between imaginative play and the responsibilities of growing up.
