HONG KONG BOY SCOUTS ASSOCIATION
CHIEF SCOUT PRESIDES AT ANNUAL MEETING
Departure Of Commissioner And President’s Retirement
Presiding at the annual meeting of the Hong Kong Branch of the Boy Scouts Association, His Excellency the Governor (Sir William Peel) as Chief Scout, commended the work of the local movement and appealed for funds to clear the overdraft incurred in connection with the Saiwan Camp.
The impending departure of the Commissioner (the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave), the retirement of the Hon. Dr. R.H.Kotewall from the position of President which he had held for eight years, and an invitation to local Scouts from Australia in connection with the visit of the Chief Scout, Lord Baden Powell, were referred to at the meeting.
COMMISSIONER EXPRESSES THANKS
The meeting was held at Sandilands Hut.
His Excellency was met by Dr. Kotewall (President), the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave (Commissioner), and other members, and proceeded to perform the ceremony of presenting the Prince of Wales’ Banner to the No. 10 (St. Paul’s College) Hong Kong Troop, the winner in last year’s competition. His Excellency was supported by Lady Southorn, Commissioner of the Girl Guides.
In the course of his speech which he prefaced with the intimation of his departure shortly, the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave, the Commissioner stressed the help he received in particular from the Assistant Commissioner, the Rev. N.V.Halward, Mr. Champkin, Col. Robertson, Mr. Christian, Mr. A.White, Mr. S.Mitchell, Mr. Wayman and others who in different ways had loyally done their bit, and to these gentlemen he expressed his sincere thanks.
He also recalled the services rendered by Sir Henry Pollock, Sir Henry Gollan, Sir Joseph Kemp, and Sir William Shenton, and referred with regret to the retirement of Dr. Kotewall from his office as President of the Association.
The Commissioner referred with gratitude to the interest taken by His Excellency the Governor and Lady Peel, remarking that by the kindly nature of that interest a fatherly and motherly touch had been given to humanise the more formal inspections and parades which His Excellency from time to time had been good enough to hold.
Steady Development
After the Commissioner had closed his address, His Excellency commented on the report as being both interesting and eminently satisfactory, the Hong Kong Branch of the Association having steadily developed from year to year until it had reached a very high standard indeed. His Excellency attribute this to the work of the Commissioner, which has been closely associated with the development of the local movement.
His Excellency spoke of the imperial and international aspects of the movement. To this he added a third, that of the family aspect which it was sought to develop also between the two branches of the local movement.
After thanking the Commissioner and the Chief Scout for their kind references to his work, Dr. Kotewall said that he was relinquishing his office as President with a certain amount of relief, but mingled also with a feeling of genuine regret, for he would miss the amiable association of the active workers from the Commissioner downwards. He referred to the great advancement made during his eight years of office, the result of combined energy and good work of the officers and committees, and above all the Commissioner, the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave, who has been the fibre of the Association, and had endowed it with his example and ideals.
Saiwan Camp Debt
After further reference to the good work done by the Commissioner in turning the boyhood of the Colony into useful citizens, the President said that one way to demonstrate appreciation was to make a special endeavour to raise at least $6,000 in order to liquidate the debt contracted in the purchase of the Saiwan Training Camp site before the Commissioner leaves.
In closing the President wished the Association ever increasing success.
Dr. Kotewall’s retirement from office was marked by the presentation of a memento.
The Vice President, Mr. E.Cock, was elected to the position of President.

香港童子軍總會
總領袖主持周年大會
總監及會長離任
於香港童子軍總會周年大會，總領袖總督閣下(貝璐爵士(Sir William Peel))讚揚了總會的工作，並呼籲公眾捐款協助償還柴灣營地的貸款。
大會亦發表了總監(華德利牧師(Rev. G.T.Waldegrave))的離任，已出任會長達8年之尊敬的羅旭龢博士(Dr. R.H.Kotewall)亦一同離任，以及來自澳大利亞邀請出席活動，該活動亦邀請了總領袖貝登堡勳爵(Lord Baden Powell)。
總監致謝
大會於新德倫小屋(Sandilands Hut)舉行。
當總領袖閣下抵達時，羅旭龢博士(會長)、華德利牧師(總監)及其他嘉賓前往迎接，並隨即進行了威爾斯太子錦標頒授儀式，獲獎的是去年獲勝的香港第10旅(聖保羅書院)。總領袖閣下由女童軍總監修頓夫人(Lady Southorn)陪同。
在發表離任演說時，總監華德利牧師特別提起助理總監侯利華牧師(Rev. N.V.Halward)、詹堅先生(Mr. Champkin)、羅拔臣上校(Col. Robertson)、傑思仁先生(Mr. Christian)、懷特先生(Mr. A.White)、米切爾先生(Mr. S.Mitchell)、偉文先生(Mr. Wayman)及其他人士，並衷心感謝了他們在各方面的盡忠職守。

總監感謝總督閣下與貝璐夫人(Lady Peel)對會務的關注，他們在多場檢閱及會操中展現出如同父母般的關懷，讓彼此更為親近。
穩步發展
總監致詞後，總領袖閣下表示這份報告別具意義及令人十分滿意，香港童子軍總會多年來的穩步發展已達致高水平，他歸功於總監的英明領導，總監的所作所為引領本地童軍達致今日成就。
總領袖閣下講述了在大英帝國及國際層面的童軍運動，他補充了第三個層面，即家庭層面，本地的男女童軍現正尋求這層面的發展。
在感謝總監及總領袖對他的工作評價後，羅旭龢博士對辭任會長一職感到欣慰，卻同時夾雜着婉惜，因為他不想與一眾積極活躍的總監及領袖作出離別。在回想8年工作期間，會務突飛猛進，全賴各領袖及委員會共同努力及出色表現，特別是總監華德利牧師，可說是支撐總會的主柱，成為眾人的榜樣及理想。
柴灣營地債務
在評述總監的優秀表現如何引領本地青年成為良好公民後，會長為表達其感激之意，特呼籲公眾籌款6,000港元以償還柴灣營地的貸款，並希望能於總監離任前達成目標。
會長最後祝願會務可更進一步。
隨着紀念品的致送，標誌着羅旭龢博士的正式離任。
副會長谷克先生(Mr. E.Cock)經選舉後，當選成為會長。
