Research on the mutual visits by the Boy Scouts between Japan and Thailand before World War ll

1935年，暹罗童子军（Siamese Luuksua）向日本童子军（Shonen-dan）赠送了两头大象，作为相互友谊的证明。1929年，暹罗Luuksua来到日本约2周，由Kihichiro大仓，大仓联合收割机（财阀）的支持。在从科比到东京的旅途中，他们观察了日本文化，并在各地与少年团进行了交流。1925年，海军军官观察并记录了前一年成立的东京海洋少年团（海上童子军）的活动。他们报告说，海洋少年团对普及“海军思想”是有效的，并就成员的阶级、活动、与海军的联系等提出了意见。

In 1935, Siamese Luuksua(Boy Scouts) presented two elephants to Japanese Shonen-dan(Boy Scouts) as a proof of mutual friendship. In 1929, Siamese Luuksua came to Japan for about 2 weeks, supported by Kihichiro Okura, the Okura combine(zaibatsu). During their trip from Kobe to Tokyo, they observed Japanese culture and had exchanges with Shonen-dan in various places. In 1925, Naval officers observed and recorded the activities of Tokyo Kaiyo Shonen-dan(Sea Scouts) established in the previous year. They reported that Kaiyo Shonen-dan was effective for the popularization of 'Naval thought' and gave opinions about member's class, activities, connection with the Navy, and so on.
