In Portugal and Brazil, they're called "escoteiros-mirins", being
"escoteiro" the portuguese word for scout, and "mirim" a word meaning
young, beginner, junior.

Nowadays, "escuteiro" is also used in Portugal with the same meaning as
"escoteiro", and it's the one which is used in portuguese Disney Comics
translations (with some exceptions - and I've also seen some stories
which have the two expressions!).

Brazillians use "escoteiro" ("escuteiro" is rarely used there).
