ボーイスカウト 童军 童子军
A voluntary non-political movement for young people, consisting of three major age groups: the [[Cub Scout]]s between 5 to 12, the [[Boy Scout]]s, usually between 10 to 18, and the Rover Scouts for those over. Parallel groups would also be created for girls, the most noteworthy being the parallel to the Boy Scouts, the [[Girl Scout]]s, for those between 10 and 14.

The Scout Association of Japan also includes Beaver Scouts, for those aged between 6 and 8, and Venture Scouts, for those aged 14 and 19. In Japan, Cub Scouts are between 8 to 11, regular Scouts are between 11 and 15, and Rover Scouts are between 18 and 25.

Scouts can be easily identified by the [[scout uniform|uniform]] that they were.

A descendant of this movement is the [[Pioneer movement]] found in (ex-)communist countries.
