Grasshopper Scouts (Chinese: 小童軍), Grasshopper Section, or simply Grasshopper, is a Scout section of The Scout Association of Hong Kong in Hong Kong for 4- to 8-year-old boys and girls.[1] Established in 1985, the Grasshoppers are modeled after the Beaver Scouts from the United Kingdom. Grasshopper is the youngest section in Hong Kong Scouting and the second largest section after the Cub Scout Section.[2]

Grasshopper Scout units are designated as "rings". At the age of 7½, participants can be promoted into Cub Scouts. Scouts wear the World Scout emblem and are formal members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.[3]
