SCOUTS PARADE INSPECTION
Governor Presents Certificates
Several hundred Boy Scouts, Cubs and Deep Sea Scouts assembled at the Murray Parade Ground on Saturday before their Chief Scout, His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, and Scout Commissioner, the Rev. N.V.Halward, for an inspection parade.
Among those present were Commodore A.M.Peters, Col. A.G.Neville, the Hon. Sir Robert Kotewall, Wing Commander A.H.Steele Perkins, Major C.Manners, The Hon. T.H.King, Commissioner of Police, and Mr. E.Cock.
“At the present time, with the war only a few weeks’ old, it is not easy to see in detail the exact path we Scouts have to pursue, but some points are crystal clear. Firstly, all of us have our duty to perform to our Country and the Empire. Whatever task we are called upon to perform we must do it with all the energy and intelligence we can muster,” was one or the passages, cited from a communication from Lord Somers, Deputy Chief Scout, referred to by Scout Commissioner Halward in his address to the scouts.
Continuing, Commissioner Halward said it was not often that the Association as a whole was able to meet together, and in fact a parade of this nature had not been held for many years.
The main activities of Scouting were concentrated within the Pack, Troop and Crew, but Scouts also belong to a great brotherhood of boys and men pledged to render service to their followmen.
That is why it is a good thing on occasions to meet together as they were doing, so that they might be reminded, by participating in such a large gathering, of the greatness of the Movement and the part that, all hoped it might play in the building up of a better world.
WARRANTS PRESENTED
His Excellency the Governor then presented Warrants, Certificates and Letters of Commendation, and addressing the gathering, congratulated them on their fine turn out. He endorsed Commissioner Halward’s words, and finally wished the scouts the “very best or luck and a very happy Christmas.”
Warrants, Certificates and Letters of Commendation were presented to the following:

檢閱童軍會操
總督頒發證書
在星期六,有約數百名童子軍、小狼、深海童軍齊聚美利操場,接受總領袖總督羅富國爵士(Sir Geoffry Northcote)及童軍總監侯利華牧師(Rev. N.V.Halward)之檢閱。
同場出席嘉賓包括彼得准將(A.M.Peters)、尼維爾上校(Col. A.G.Neville)、尊敬的羅旭龢爵士(Sir Robert Kotewall)、史柏堅中校(Wing Commander A.H.Steele Perkins)、文拿少校(Major C.Manners)、警察總監尊敬的經亨利(T.H.King)、谷克先生(Mr. E.Cock)。
「今時今日,隨着戰事於數周前爆發,現在很難說明童軍從戰事當中應走的道路,但有幾點卻是十分明確。第一,我們都需對國家及帝國盡責任,不論甚麼任務,我們都必須盡心盡力地將之完成。」以上為童軍總監侯利華於致詞時,所引述來自副總領袖桑瑪斯勳爵(Lord Somers)的話。
接着,侯利華總監表示總會全體人士已很久沒有聚首一堂,事實上大型會操亦已有多年沒有舉行。
童軍的活動,主要發生在各自的小狼旅、童軍旅及羅浮團身上,然而,每位童軍其實亦屬於由各小童及成年共同組成並為大眾服務之同一偉大團體。
所以把他們如同現在般聚在一起,就可藉此提醒他們現正參加着的團體是如此偉大,並被期待着能為更美好的世界出一分力。

總督閣下隨後頒授委任書、獎狀及表揚信,為大會致訓詞,並祝賀活動成功舉行。
