我想問英文Boy Scout的來源…(係來源,不是歷史)

Scout was a term used in the military as the soilders who sent out to the front line to search for enemies. As the founder (Lord Baden-Powell) of the Scouting movement was a military man, he used the word to describe the trainings he provided to boys during peace time and hence Boy Scout.

The first chapter of his book "Scouting for Boys" published in 1908 has made this very clear:

"WHAT SCOUTS ARE"

I SUPPOSE EVERY Boy wants to help his country in some way or other. There is a way by which he can so do easily, and that is by becoming a Boy Scout.

A scout in the army, as you know, is generally a soldier who is chosen for his cleverness and pluck to go out in front to find out where the enemy is, and report to the commander all about him.

But, besides war scouts, there are also peace scouts-men who in peace time carry out work which requires the same kind of pluck and resourcefulness.

These are the frontiersmen of the world."......

由零開始
香港童子軍活動始於1909年。直至1911年，一些英國商人及軍人開始組織童子軍旅。

成立香港第1個旅團

1913年9月，聖約瑟書院的「香港第1旅」率先成立，並於1914年正式在英國童軍總會註冊， 成為香港童子軍史上的第一個旅團。

成立「香港童子軍總會」

「香港童子軍總會」(以下簡稱 "總會" ) 於1915年7月組成，負責統籌一般訓練及活動事務。

戰爭暫緩童子軍運動的發展

由於第1次世界大戰的爆發，當時在港的英軍，包括大部分的童子軍領袖都需要回國服務，因此香港的童子軍運動被迫暫時進入了休眠狀態。

香港首次童軍大會操

香港首次童軍大會操於1915年舉行。
