OUR BOY SCOUTS.
THIS AFTERNOON’S BIG RALLY.
SOME INTERESTING FACTS.
To some of the older Scouts and those interested in the movement, the rally of the Hongkong Boy Scouts’ Association at Government House this afternoon to compete for the Prince of Wales’ Banner may recall the first rally on Murray Parade ground after the re-forming of the Association in July 1920, although, of course, there have been vast strides made as regards numerical strength and general efficiency.
It is interesting to recall just how that re-formation took place. Early in 1920 during a parade of the cadet Company of the Hongkong Defence Corps, a postman handed Mr. A.G.M.Weyman a letter addressed to the Scoutmaster, Hongkong Boy Scouts, and told him that no one would accept it. As he was in charge of the only Boys Movement, Mr. Weyman took the letter and found it was from Lt. Rannolf, of the Dutch Navy, who wrote as an old Scout that he would be pleased to give a lantern lecture on Scouting in all parts of the world. As a result of the lecture, and the energy of Mr. Weyman, who became the first secretary, the zeal of Lt.-Col. F.Bowen, who became the first Commissioner, and the help of those who became Scoutmasters, the Hongkong Boy Scouts’ Association was formed and soon began to take strong root. Although Mr. Weyman and Col. Bowen had to give up the work after two years of strenuous service (not before the latter had been awarded the Order of Merit by the Chief Scout), excellent successors were found in the Rev. G.T.Waldergrave as Commissioner and Scoutmaster Kirk as secretary. Mr. Kirk held the post until the appointment of Scout master White as District Scoutmaster and Secretary combined. The Rev. G.T.Walderrgrave is still acting as Commissioner.
The movement may well be said to have taken strong root and to be flourishing for in comparison with that first parade on Murray Parade ground, when four small troops took part, there are now 12 Troops of Scouts (with about 20 boys in each), one troop of Sea Scouts and five Wolf Club packs with an average of 16 boys in each. The activities of the scouts comprise the holding of weekly parades by most of the troops, an occasional “trek” to the New Territories and the holding of camps at Hongkong and the New Territories. Concerts are sometimes held on behalf of troop funds.
A full record of the doings of the Hongkong Scouts is given in The Silver Wolf, the organ of the Association, which is published monthly and which contains many excellent features in addition to these records. This attractive magazine should do much to enlist the interest of parents and friends, to instill in the minds of the boys a healthy love of sound and wholesome literature and to stimulate their interest in the great Brotherhood to which they belong.

我們的童子軍
下午舉行大集會
幾個值得回味的事情
香港童子軍總會於今天下午於總督府舉行的威爾斯太子錦標賽，可能會讓一些老童軍及熱心人士回想起1920年7月，總會重新組建後在美利操場(Murray Parade ground)舉行的第一場集會，但當然現在的人數及表現方面已經大有進步了。
當年的事很值得回味。在1920年香港義勇防衛軍(Hongkong Defence Corps)少年團的一次會操中，一位郵差把一封寫著收件人為「香港童子軍旅長(Scoutmaster)」的信件遞給了偉文先生(Mr. A.G.M.Weyman)，表示他找不到收件人，而偉文先生是唯一本地青少年組織的領導人了。偉文先生收了信後，得悉原來是寄自一位老童軍，是來自荷蘭海軍的溫諾中尉(Lt. Rannolf)，表示他希望為世界各地的童軍進行幻燈片演講。偉文先生聽完演講後，再配合他的動力，於是他成為了首位秘書，熱心的寶雲中校(Lt.-Col. F.Bowen)亦成為了首位總監，再加上各旅長(Scoutmaster)的協助，香港童子軍總會得以重組並開始強勢發展。遺憾的是偉文先生及寶雲中校於辛勞服務2年後未能繼續出任職守(後者亦於後來獲總領袖頒授功績獎勵)，慶幸後來找來了華德利牧師(Rev. G.T.Waldergrave)任職總監，旅長(Scoutmaster)科克(Kirk)任職秘書。科克先生一直出任此職，直至旅長(Scoutmaster)懷特(White)任職童軍區長兼任秘書。華德利牧師至今亦繼續出任總監。
與美利操場的首次集會相比，現在的情況可說已紮根及穩步發展，當年只有4個隊伍參加，現時已有12個童軍旅(每旅約20人)，1個海童軍旅及5個小狼旅，每旅約16人。現時大部份的童軍旅都會於每星期進行一次活動，例如新界的遠足及於香港及新界進行露營。有時候亦會舉行籌款音樂會。
如要一睹香港童軍的所有活動，可參閱《銀狼》(The Silver Wolf)，這是總會的月刊，除了活動紀錄外亦有精彩的內容。這本有魅力的雜誌相信可吸引家長及知友的興趣，亦會對小孩灌輸健康的思想及有益的文章，從而激發他們對自身所屬的這個偉大友誼組織的興趣。
