On 20 December 2015, more than 200 youth / youths came together to attend the 2015 Youth Kenshu with the theme of "Pioneers in Faith".

1. Should it be "youth" or "youths"?
2. Are there any errors in the text?

Thanks.

I believe you can use either one. My personal preference would be to use youths, but youth would not be wrong. I don't see any errors in the sentence. Using youth rather than youths is established by usage, but might be technically considered to be wrong when the plural is needed.
