世界上規模最大的青少年運動--童子軍(the
Scouts)

The logo of
BSA | 童子軍的形成最早源于1907年在英格蘭棕海島（Brownsea
Island）上舉行的一次實驗性營區活動。該活動的組織者貝登堡把自己童年的一些戶外活動經驗和在軍隊時訓練士兵的一套經驗方法用于訓練20名十幾歲的男孩，結果深得受訓者的喜愛。這次活動產生了巨大的影響，青少年開始紛紛效仿并自發組織起來進行類似的活動，由此便發展形成了今天世界上規模最大的青少年運動。童子軍運動的目標是：幫助青少年增長知識，掌握技能，完善自我、家庭以及所在的社區，使青少年成為有責任感、能自立的公民與未來的領導人。
童子軍作為一個國際性的運動，其組織按活動的范圍可分為國際性、地區性、國家性與地方性等各個不同級別。世界童子軍會議是童子軍的最高立法機構，同時也是其世界組織的管理部門，其成員是由得到童子軍世界組織承認的各國童子軍組織構成，每個國家只能作為一個成員加入。目前已有150多個國家和地區的童子軍組織得到了世界童子軍組織的承認。

BSA "Strategic Plan Identity"
emblem | Boy Scouts, organization of boys 11
to 17 years old, founded (1907) in Great Britain by Sir Robert (later Lord)
Baden-Powell. It was incorporated in 1910 in the United States, where its
appearance was connected with earlier organizations-the Sons of Daniel Boone,
organized by Daniel Carter Beard, and the Woodcraft Indians, organized by Ernest
Thompson Seton. In the United States, James E. West was chief scout during the
organization's early years (1911-43). The movement spread throughout most of the
world, with the organization and program basically the same in every country.
Worldwide membership is estimated at 25 million. The first international
gathering of Boy Scouts, called a jamboree, was held in London in 1920. The
Scouts are intended to be nonmilitary and without racial, religious, political,
or class distinctions. The Supreme Court affirmed the organization's right to
limit membership to those who believe in God in 1993 and its right to exclude
homosexuals in 2000, a policy that has been controversial in some areas.
Activities of the Boy Scouts aim at mental, moral, and physical development,
stressing outdoor skills and training in citizenship and lifesaving. The basic
scout unit is a troop of about 15 boys, under the leadership of an adult
scoutmaster. Adjunct programs of the Boy Scouts include boys and young men 7 to
20 years old.

The logo of
GSUSA | Girl Scouts, recreational and service
organization founded (1912) in Savannah, Ga., by Mrs. Juliette Gordon Low
(1860-1927). It was originally modeled after the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides,
organizations created in Great Britain by Sir Robert Baden-Powell during the
early 20th cent. The membership is divided into five age groups-Daisies (5 to
6), Brownies (6 to 8), Junior Girl Scouts (8 to 11), Cadette Girl Scouts (11 to
14), and Senior Girl Scouts (14 to 17). Girls of every race, creed, color,
national origin, and economic group are eligible. Good citizenship and service
are stressed in their activities, which focus on such fields as science, math,
technology, physical fitness, the arts, and the outdoors. There are some 3.5
million scouts and adult volunteers in the United States. The World Association
of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (founded 1928) serves as the international
federation for the organizations of 136 countries.
