Where are you reading that it was compulsory?
There were many German children that didn't join. It wasn't even compulsory for Party members to have their children join, though it was highly encouraged.

FWIW, I know two German sisters, one was involved with the female division of the Hitler Youth (Jungen Maidel?) and the other one wasn't. The one who WAS a member had a chance to meet Hitler, but didn't really care. So, the other sister borrowed her uniform, and met Hitler!
The minute they named the pope, I started googling, as I figured things would be very quickly sanitized.
