I went to wermy's website for the Chinese Scouts: http://sac.clubspaces.com/PageCustom.aspx?id=29&o=269194 Here's the important things that I saw:
Scout Promise:
On my honor I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to the President and to my Country (and to God*) - *for those who have a religion;
To help other people at all times;
To obey the Scout Law
Do my Duty to the President (instead of God)? The God afterthought seems more like Girl Scouts than Boy Scouts -- something just put in to conform to the World Organization of the Scout's requirement that a member organization require their members to believe in God, in line with how Scouting was originally created by Baden Powell.
Scout Law:
...
7. A Scout obeys orders of his parents, Leader or Scoutmaster without question.
...
(there are 10 points)
A person could say that their version of Scouting hearkens back more to the original paramilitary origins of Scouting then ours currently does (see the Siege of Mafeking and then later during World War I).
Scouts are either Venturers or Rovers.
Venture Scout Unit (Venture Scouts, Venture Sea Scouts, Venture Air Scouts):
Age 15 to 20, minimium number of youth members is 12.
A person may be a Venture Scout Leader (or Assistant) from 21 to 64.
Rover Crew:
Age 18 to 25, minimum number of "youth" members is 6.
A person may be a Rover Scout Leader (or Assistant) from 25 to 64.
They have Groups, Districts, Regions, where we have Districts, Councils, Regions. Their Districts are not autonymous in any way like our Councils are.
