CAMP FIRE DISPLAY
DELIGHTFUL SHOW BY LOCAL SCOUTS
WORK AND PLAY DEMONSTRATED
A MOST delightful entertainment, unique of its kind, was given by the combined Scouts, Girl Guides and Wolf Cubs of Hong Kong and Kowloon, when they gave their Camp Fire Display before a large gathering of spectators on the Hong Kong Cricket Club ground last evening. The show was under the distinguished patronage of the Chief Scout, H.E. the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, who attended and declared the Camp Fire open, and was accompanied by Lady Caldecott and his A.D.C., Captain W.J.R.Cragg.
His Excellency was met on his arrival by the Scout Commissioner for Hong Kong, the Rev. N.V.Halward, and other executive officers of the Boy Scouts’ Association and conducted to the stage which had been erected directly facing the Cricket Club pavilion.
After the band of the Royal Ulster Rifles, present by kind permission of Lt. Col. R.M.Rodwell and Officers, had played God Save the King, the flood lights which illuminated the front portion of the Cricket Club grounds where the display was to take place were turned out, and suddenly starting out from the darkness there appeared the huge illuminated camp fire, most artistically devised and illuminated by electricity. His Excellency then said: “I have great pleasure in declaring this Camp Fire open.”
The whole parade of scouts, Girl Guides and Wolf Cubs, who had marched on to the ground immediately after His Excellency arrived and had taken up their positions before the stage, then sang together in chorus and gave their various “yells” with the utmost enthusiasm. Among the songs given were the “Jemima” chorus to the tune (more or less) of the Soldiers’ Chorus from Faust, the Round “London’s Burning,” sung by four separate groups, and a tongue twister, “Oompah, Oompah, Gilli, Gilli Gilli,” followed by roars and yells of scouts in various parts of the world. These included a fearsome reproduction of the sort of noise Boy Scouts make in Africa; and with the arrival of a comic “horse” on the ground, everyone was put in a good humour.
BRIDGE BUILDING
The serious part of the display then started. First the audience was treated to a show of Wand Drill by the 1st Hong Kong Sea Scout Pack of Wolf Cubs, while simultaneously a rope spinning display by selected Scouts from the 1st (Sea Scout) and 4th (Murray) Hong Kong, and the 1st (St. Andrew’s) and 4th (Garrison) Kowloon Troops was given.
The combined Wolf Cub Packs then provided some torchlight figure marching which formed a pretty picture in the darkness, this item being followed by one of the most interesting in the display. It was a demonstration of a rescue from a shipwreck by the use of rocket life saving apparatus, by the 1st Hong Kong (Sea Scout) troop. A “ship’s mast” had been erected in one corner of the ground and the Sea Scouts quickly rigged up a breeches buoy, following the firing of a rocket distress signal from the “ship,” and carried three “distressed mariners” to safety over the “foaming waters.”
PHYSICAL DRILL
A splendid exhibition of physical drill and pyramids was then given by the 1st (St. Joseph’s), 2nd (Catholic Cathedral), and 15th (Wah Yan College) Hong Kong, and the 3rd (Catholic), 11th (Wah Yan College), 18th (St Teresa’s) and 14th (Rosary Church) Kowloon troops. The boys performed intricate figure marches to the music of the band and then gave a demonstration of physical drill and figure building.
This item was followed by a delightful episode enacted by the Girl Guides, entitled “Pandora’s Box.” Pandora was first seen in a petulant mood, with her husband remonstrating with her. The Box arrived, which Pandora, in spite of the forbidding label, wished to open, but was chided by her husband. He was called away, and curiosity overcame her, and she opened the Box. Out flew a swarm of wasps, then the Imps of Mumps, Rheumatism and Influenza. They danced and threw their infection upon the populace, who began to all. They were followed by the Imps of Sulks, Bad Temper, Greed and Untidiness, and, last of all, Deep Depression. Pandora knelt before the Box and began to pray, when Hope appeared, and presently all the Imps were transformed into Guides, who brought the item to an end with the Guides’ salute.
The display was brought to a close with the singing of songs, choruses and yells round the camp fire in the darkness by the combined Girl Guides, Scouts and Wolf Cubs, after which the Commissioner made an eloquent plea for the support of the Scout movement and thanked those present for their patronage. Mr. Halward referred to the financial position of the Association, which finds itself in some difficulty owing to an overdraft, and appealed for donations to the funds of the Association to enable it to throw off this burden. The speaker mentioned that not only were Scouts from Hong Kong present at the display, which showed what work the movement was accomplishing, but also representatives from China and Macau; and the last named group gave a musical item before the final parade, with Colours, in which all the Scouts, Girl Guides and Wolf Cubs present took part. The National Anthem brought the evening to a close.
The Association expects to clear about $500 from the Display, which was most successful and eminently enjoyable. The children played their parts with enthusiasm, and the audience went away thoroughly satisfied.

營火大會
本地童軍精彩表演
事工及遊戲示範
昨晚，來自香港九龍的童軍、女童軍及小狼齊聚香港木球會，為公眾帶來了一場精彩絕倫的營火表演。大會由總領袖總督郝德傑爵士(Sir Andrew Caldecott)贊助及主持開幕，陪同主禮嘉賓的是郝德傑夫人(Lady Caldecott)及副官克拉格上尉(Captain W.J.R.Cragg)。
當總督閣下蒞臨時，香港總監侯利華牧師(Rev. N.V.Halward)與一眾領袖上前迎接，並一同走上面向會場的主禮臺。
由羅德威中校(Lt. Col. R.M.Rodwell)及其他軍官批准到場的皇家阿爾斯特步槍團(Royal Ulster Rifles)樂隊奏出「天佑國王」(God Save the King)後，照亮會場的泛光燈熄滅，在黑暗中大型營火燃亮，這營火十分精巧，並用電力燃點。總督閣下說：「我很高興宣佈營火會正式開始。」
各童軍、女童軍、小狼於總督閣下蒞臨時迅速於臺前集隊，他們齊聲合唱及作出各種吶喊，場面熱情無比。他們的合唱包括珍美瑪合唱團(Jemima chorus)版本的《浮士德》(Faust)「士兵合唱」(Soldiers’ Chorus)，由4組人士唱出「倫敦大火」(London’s Burning)，1人用繞舌唱出「哞吧哞吧機靈機靈機靈」(Oompah, Oompah, Gilli, Gilli, Gilli)，接着是世界各地的童軍吶喊，其中包括令人感到畏懼的非洲童子軍吶喊，然後是一隻滑稽的馬匹進場，場面非常有趣。
搭建橋樑
接着開始認真的部份，首先是香港第1海童軍小狼團的短杖表演，同一時候，有來自香港第1(海童軍)、香港第4(美利)、九龍第1(聖安德烈)、九龍第4(駐軍)一同示範馬術套索。
各小狼手持火炬進場，於黑暗中造出美麗圖畫。接着是活動最有趣的項目，由香港第1(海童軍)於海難救生中使用火箭救生，會場中豎立着一艘船的桅杆，海童軍迅速造出短褲式救生圈(breeches buoy)，於船上發射遇難訊號火箭，並將3名「受難海員」救出「怒海」。
體操
接着演示的是體操及人形金字塔，表演者來自香港第1(聖若瑟)、香港第2(主教座堂)、香港第15(華仁書院)、九龍第3(天主教會)、九龍第11(華仁書院)、九龍第18(聖德肋撒)、九龍第14(玫瑰堂)之童軍旅，他們配合着音樂進場，並且進行體操及人形建築。
緊接的是女童軍吸引的節目，名為「潘朵拉之盒」(Pandora’s Box)。潘朵拉進場時正發着脾氣，她的丈夫在安撫着她。潘朵拉其後看到一個加上了封條的盒子，正想打開時，被她的丈夫加以制止。丈夫之後因事離開，潘朵拉在好奇心的驅使下打開了盒子，盒中立即冒出一群黃蜂、豬頭皮(痄腮患者)、跛腳怪(風濕患者)、咳嗽怪(流感患者)，她們一邊跳着舞，一邊向觀眾傳播「疾病」。盒中繼續冒出鬱悶鬼、暴躁鬼、貪食鬼、邋遢鬼，最後冒出的是憂鬱鬼。潘朵拉害怕地跪地祈禱，祈求神蹟的出現。轉瞬間，一切疾病鬼怪變身成為女童軍，並向在場人士作出女童軍敬禮。
最後的表演，一眾女童軍、童軍及小狼於黑暗中圍着營火歌唱、合唱，以及吶喊。總監其後感謝各嘉賓對童軍運動的支持以及出席活動。侯利華先生提到了總會的財務狀況，表示會務現因透支而陷入困難，呼籲公眾踴躍捐款，以助總會早日擺脫財赤。他提及活動除了有香港童軍的參與，亦有來自中國及澳門的童軍代表出席，當說出最後一旅的旅號後，會場奏樂，所有的童軍、女童軍、小狼，帶着各隊伍的旗幟於會場巡遊。活動以演奏國歌作結。
總會預料是次活動可籌得500港元之善款。活動十分成功，各小童均熱情投入表演，而愉快的觀眾離場時亦感到心滿意足。
