OUR ST. GEORGE’S DAY PARADE
The President’s Speech:
Of all the associations which I know of in Hong Kong none gives so much pride and satisfaction to me as your President, or indeed to the community, as the Boy Scouts Association.
You have high ideals not only in play but in work. You have a record of useful active service which you have rendered with high enthusiasm. Many think that active service is service in war; but you, like the Knights of old, live up to your motto and are at all times prepared for service and loyalty in peace as in war. You well deserve still another motto – that of the Prince of Wales – I serve.
The Knights of old did not start as knights; they went through a hard and strict training of discipline, loyalty and unselfish sacrifice until they won their spurs. You as Scouts are training to win your spurs as the future citizens of Hong Kong. When you grow too old to be Cubs, Scouts or Rovers you will still retain as citizens the principles and ideals of Scouts Once a Scout – always a Scout.
Hong Kong needs people trained and disciplined in well-doing like you. You may be British, Chinese, Portuguese, Indian or any nationality – but with the same uniform, the same badge and the same code you are fused into one band of brothers to-day which will become the band of united citizens of the future whose loyalty will be to Hong Kong.
It is significant that to-day is St. George’s Day. St. George is the Patron Saint of England. He was adopted as their emblem by the Crusaders who for centuries fought the infidels who were in possession of the holy city of Jerusalem. You have been the traditional picture of St. George, armed and mounted, slaying the dragon. He is the symbol of the triumph of good over evil. He was typical of the knights of old who were trained and always prepared to rescue those who were in the toils of the dragon, to relieve distress and to fight evil.
You as Scouts are to-day the inheritors of the ideals and traditions of those Knights. Honour is your high ideal as it was theirs. Your code on which your association is based was taken from the code of the Knights. In these days, as of old, there are still fiery dragons of evil that rear their ugly heads around us. We live in troubled times of war, dissension and distress. It is your mission as Scouts always to be prepared, not only to radiate happiness and do service with your smile and staff, but armed with lance or sword to do battle with the modern dragons of evil.
The English poet, Tennyson, before the Scout movement was formed forty years ago, expressed in verse the mission of the perfect Knight, and it is as true to-day as the aim of a good Scout:
“To reverence the King
To break the heathen and uphold the Christ
To ride abroad redressing human wrongs
To speak no slander, no, nor listen to it,
To honour his own word as if his God’s”.
He also gave as the Knight’s motto these words which I commend to you:-
“Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King.”
聖佐治日會操
會長致詞
港督閣下，總監，各位同志：就我所知，香港一切社團中，無一能夠給我，甚至社會人士有如是之光榮及滿意一如童軍總會者，你們有高超之理智，不獨在遊戲中，抑且表現在工作上，你們保持極有價值之服役紀錄，許多人以為服役乃為在戰爭中服務之謂，但你們一如古時之武士，遵守你們之格言，隨時準備服務，盡忠國家，無論其為太平，抑或戰爭。
古時之武士并非一開始便成武士，而係經過一嚴格之紀律，忠誠，及不自私之犧牲訓練然後始能獲得武士之名銜者，你們亦在訓練以獲得童軍之名銜，使成將來之香港良好公民，當你們長大成人，不再作小狼，童軍，或羅浮時，仍需保有童軍之思想而為一公民，一旦宣誓為童軍，即永遠亦為童軍也。
香港需要曾受訓練及有紀律之市民一如你們，你們或為英籍，華籍，葡籍，印籍，或任何其他國籍，但是均穿着同一之制服，同一之徽章及同一之規律，今天合而為一群兄弟，將來則合而為一群香港之公民也
今日為聖佐治紀念日，聖佐治乃英國之聖人他被稱為聖人乃因數百年前他向佔據聖城耶路撒冷之異教徒作戰，而由當時之十字軍所賜與者，你們曾經見過聖佐治之圖像，武裝，策馬手刃毒龍，他乃是良善戰勝惡魔之象徵。
他為曾經訓練隨時準備挽救受毒龍所害而脫離苦難，戰勝惡魔之古武士典型。
你們今天乃為彼等武士理想與傳統之承繼人爭取名譽是你們之最高理想，一如古之武士無異，童軍總會所採取之規律乃根據武士之規律而定，在今時一如往日，許多黑暗，殘暴，害人之事物仍潛伏在我們之週圍，我們生於戰爭苦難之時代中，站在童軍之立場上，你們不獨要隨時準備有愉快之心情及軍棍來服務，抑且要以正義和真理向現有之一切黑暗，殘暴，害人之事物作戰。
在童軍活動發起前四十年，英國詩人鄧尼信有一首描寫一個武士使命之詩，一如今日你們做童軍之目的，它說：「對國盡忠，對神盡責，不談不聽污衊之言，不說謊語」
他亦曾將武士之格言寫出，我就將它囑咐你們：「生活清潔，說話真誠，過而能改，為國盡忠」。
