基督少年军(The Boys' Brigade)是一个 基督教青少年制服 团体. 宗旨是於青少年人之间,扩展 基督的国度,同时促进服从、虔诚、纪律及自爱等良好行为,以达成基督化的人格。 格言为:“我们有这指望,如同灵魂的锚,又坚固、又牢靠”——《 圣经· 希伯来书》6:19 。随着时代的发展,现在少年军的宗教色彩已经没有那么浓重了。
童军(Scouting)直译为童军活动,也称童军运动,台湾和港澳旧称童子军,是一个国际性的、按照特定方法进行的青少年社会性运动。童军运动的目的,是向青少年提供他们在生理、心理和精神上的支持,培养出健全的公民,最终目的是希望将来这些青少年可以回馈社会并对社会有所贡献。
“这是一个开放给所有种族、宗教和出身青少年自发性的非政府运动,并遵循当初创始者(贝登堡)所构想、创建的目的、方法和原则......,而又描述了童军的目标是「促进青少年的发展,并使他们认知作为一个个体、负责任的公民以及他们所属地区、国家和国际社群的成员,必须在他们的体能、智能、社会和精神上的潜能达到完美的境界。”
童军源于基督少年军,由基督少年军的一位领袖贝登堡创立。1899至1900年南非波尔战争期间,贝登堡率领1250人守卫在梅富根城度过了217天被围困的日子。回到英国后他成了英雄。人们希望他能提出一个更适合男孩子的侦察项目。于是他开始考虑把侦察作为一种游戏,但是他希望这是一个有目标的游戏,所以他的游戏是围绕侦察条例和法规的理念制订的。
区别: | Scouts | Boys'/Girls Brigade | Co-ed? | Fully mixed in all sections since 1907... though we're not 50-50 yet | Boys and Girls sections are nominally separate but often work together | Religous policy | All members make a promise to do "duty to God", but 1st Histon is not tied to any specific church or even religion. We have promise variations for all major faiths. We encourage children to think about their religious beliefs and to grow in their own faith, but try not to be prescriptive. Spiritual development is a stated component of our programme. Personal and social development topics are generally treated in a moral but not religious way, with an emphasis on learning through experience of various situations. | BB is a church-based youth group, and aspects of the programme are based specifically on studying Christian teachings. Personal and social development topics are generally covered with reference to Christian teachings. | Outdoor activities | Emphasis on adventurous activities, wide games, camping, cycling, canoeing, hillwalking, etc | Emphasis on outdoor sports - probably less outdoor time than Scouts altogether. | Structure | Emphasis on teamwork, and some hierarchical organization. The Scouts are expected to organize things for themselves, often in small groups rather than as an adult-led whole. | BB is highly adult-supervised, tending to work as a single large group. |
