義勇軍少年團
在60年代後期，香港政府與社會各界認為有需要為香港訓練一批未來領袖，當時的皇家香港軍團(義勇軍)得到政府批准及撥款，成立少年領袖團(少年團)。少年團遂於1969年12月22日成立，1970年12月開始訓練第一批隊員，宗旨是提供一個訓練環境，讓14-17歲男孩能發展個人品格、領導才能及服務社會的精神。

在1997年，因香港的主權移交，義勇軍面臨解散，少年團亦因而不能依以往的形式繼續運作，但毫無疑問，以往少年團所提供予青少年的訓練是值得保留的。少年團有優秀的導師、嚴謹的紀律，能為學員提供具挑戰性的訓練課程。因此，當時的布務司署政策事務組於1992年12月，批准了成立香港少年領袖團。香港少年領袖團的運作模式亦因而有所改變，從以往附屬於政府機構轉為一個獨立慈善團體。
香港少年領袖團在1994年1月註冊成立為有限公司，並於1995年2月成為認可慈善機構。理事會亦
同時成立，主要負責監督由義勇軍少年團過渡至香港少年領袖團的過程，及引領少年領袖團將來的發展方向。
義勇軍少年團其後於1995年9月3日解散，而香港少年領袖團亦正式於翌日取代其角色。
香港少年領袖團於1995年9月開始使用西貢萬宜訓練營作為訓練基地，而第一批學員亦於同年12月展開訓練。
組織
香港少年領袖團沿用陸軍軍團編制，分為多個大隊、中隊、分隊及小隊，由義務導師帶領訓練及執行服務。
Junior Leaders Corps of RHKR(V)
In the late 60’s the Hong Kong Government and the general public felt the need to train for future Hong Kong leaders. The RHKR(V) was thereupon allowed and granted funding to establish the Junior Leaders Corps, which was founded on 22 December 1969 to train the first batch in December 1970, with the objective of providing a training environment to young men aged between 14 and 17 for their developing personality, leadership and the devotion to public service. Hong Kong Adventure Corps
In 1997, due to the Handover, the RHKR(V) was facing disbandment, and the Junior Leaders Corps could not continue to operate as they did. Undoubtedly trainings given to Corps members were worth to maintain, with brilliant instructors and strict discipline that were precious to trainees under challenging drills. In December 1992 the then Home Affairs Bureau (Policy Department) permitted the Hong Kong Adventure Corps to be established on the basis of an independent charity organisation instead of the former government subsidiary status. in January 1994, later a recognised charity organisation in February 1995 when a Committee was established, mainly to supervise the Junior Leaders Corps transition to HKAC, and to advise the latter on her future development. The Junior Leaders Corps was disbanded on 3 September 1995 and officially replaced by the HKAC the next day. In September 1995 the HKAC began using the High Island Training Camp as the training base, where the first batch was trained in December 1995. Organisation
The Hong Kong Adventure Corps follows the Army system and is divided into multiple Squadrons, Troops and Sections, and is led by volunteer instructors for training and services.
