Ways to tell them apart:

Youth is the singular form, referring to a young person or the quality of being young.
Youths is simply the plural form of youth, meaning more than one young person.

Remember that in some contexts, youth can imply a collective group without specifying plural, such as the youth of today.
When referring to individuals, youths specifies multiple young people.
