Frequently Asked Questions
Q:「童子軍」和「童軍」有什麼區別？ |
Q: What’s the difference between “童子軍” and “童軍”? |
| Boy Scout 在2008年之前稱為「童子軍」，但自2008年起，世界各地的華人童軍總會聯合將中文名稱正式改為童軍。中國並非世界童軍組織的會員國，目前在中國境內仍然有許多機構以舊名稱「童子軍」為名作為商業牟利的工具。真正的童軍是非營利機構。 | “Boy Scout” was translated as “童子軍” before 2008. The new Chinese translation is “童軍”. Some people still use the old term 童子軍 in China. Since China is not a WOSM member, There is no NSO (National Scout Association, 童軍總會) in China and they have no contact with other NSOs and the World Organization. All scouting organizations in China are local business operating for profit. |
Q: 童軍就是玩戶外遊戲及參加營會嗎？ |
Q: Boy Scout is about outdoors and camp, right? |
| 其實戶外遊戲及參加營會只是童軍活動的一部分，大部分的時間孩子們是從活動中學習生活知識、團隊精神及如何成為一個智仁勇三者兼備的好公民。 | Outdoors and camps are only part of Boy Scout activities. Young people in the Scouts learn social skills and team spirits, build character and become a good citizenship via indoor and outdoor activities. |
Q: 童軍到底都在做什麼？ |
Q: What do scouts do? |
| 童軍的主要目的是向青少年提供他們在生理、心理和精神上的支持，培養出智仁勇三者兼備的公民，希望將來這些青少年可以回饋社會並對社會有所貢獻。童軍活動鼓勵孩子奉獻、服務，以及在身體、心理上磨鍊自己，對自然環境，對國家，對社區，對人有服務貢獻之心，同時學會如何與成人應對，勇敢表達自己。 | Young people in the Scouts take part in an exciting program of activities from kayaking to coding. They develop character skills like resilience, initiative and tenacity; employability skills such as leadership, teamwork and problem solving; and practical skills like cooking and first aid. |

| 童軍活動並不是Day Care或者課後班，我們也沒有雇用保母來照顧孩子，所有活動及課程都靠家長們來幫忙完成。從擔任團長 (Cubmaster) 、小隊長(Den Leaders)，活動執行 (Adult in Charge, AIC)，或者團務委員 (Committee Members) 等，有的只要每個月兩三個小時，有的每星期兩三個小時，每個家庭可以按自己的能力來服務。 | Cub Scout is not a day care service or after school program. We don’t hire babysitters to take care of your child. All activities and program were conducted by parents.

You can choose the one that fits you. |
