INSPECTION OF BOY SCOUTS.
THE REV. G.T.WALDEGRAVE DECORATED.
CEREMONY AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
His Excellency the Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., inspected the Hong Kong Boy Scouts, Rovers and Wolf Clubs yesterday afternoon at Government House.
The boys were drawn up in a large semicircle on the lawn in front of Government House with their officers and patrol leaders. His Excellency the Governor, who is the Chief Scout of Hong Kong, accompanied by the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave, M.A., Commissioner and Deputy Camp Chief for Hong Kong, and Captain Whyte, A.D.C., inspected each patrol, stopping to speak personally to one or two scouts. The boys presented a smart appearance and their hearty cheers at the close of the ceremony showed their keenness.
Among others present were:- Major-General C.C.Luard, C.B., C.M.G., and A.D.C., Commodore J.L.Pearson, C.M.G., Sir Henry Gollan, K.C., Lieut.-Col. L.G.Bird, D.S.O., Colonel T.A.Robertson, Sir Shou-son Chow, the Hon. Dr. R.H.Kotewall, C.M.G., Mr. Ho Kom Tong, and Mr. R.E.Lindsell.
The Chief Scout’s Speech.
Sir Cecil Clementi addressed the Commissioner as follows:-
Mr. Waldegrave,- Upon the unanimous recommendation of the members of Council of the Hong Kong Branch of the Boy Scouts’ Association, in whose opinion I heartily concurred, the Chief Scout, Sir Robert Baden Powell, has awarded you the order of the “Silver Wolf,” which is the highest mark of distinction in his gift.
Your connection with Boy Scouts dated from December, 1908, when you became the Scoutmaster of the 3rd Sherborne (Dorset) Troop. Later you were Scoutmaster of the 5th Cambridge (Perse School) Troop and of the 102nd Midland (Birmingham Parish Church Troop). You were also representative of the Birmingham Central Scout “Division” on the Executive Committee of the Birmingham Scout Association. In 1915 you were co-founder with Baron F.van Pallandt of the Scout Officers Training Corps in the Internment Camp at Groningen, Holland. During 1917 and 1918 you ran the Sea Scout Patrol in connection with the Sea Scout Messengers at Lowestoft Naval Base. Since October, 1921, you have been Commissioner of Boy Scouts in Hong Kong.
You have rendered splendid service to the Association for almost twenty years and you have thoroughly earned the distinction now given by the Chief Scout.
New Secretary Takes The Oath.
Mr. J.A.Worswick, who has been appointed Secretary to the Hong Kong Boy Scout Association, was then presented to His Excellency and the Commissioner, and took the boy scouts oath of loyalty and then exchanged salutes with the scouts.
The Silver Wolf.
The Hon. Dr. R.H.Kotewall, C.M.G., then formally presented the Rev. Waldegrave to the Chief Scout, and said that he heartily endorsed all that His Excellency had said of the Commissioner. It had been his privilege to be associated with Mr. Waldegrave for a number of years, and his tact and devotion to duty had filled the speaker with admiration. He had thoroughly earned his high award which had given the greatest possible pleasure to all members of the Association, on whose behalf he (Dr. Kotewall) tendered Mr. Waldegrave hearty congratulations.
The Certificate.
The certificate from Sir Robert Baden Powell, Chief Scout, was then read by Dr. Kotewall as follows:-
This certificate is granted to the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave, M.A., Commissioner and Deputy Camp Chief for Hong Kong as evidence that I have awarded him the Honorary Silver Wolf in recognition of his most excellent services on behalf of the Scout Movement.
Sd. ROBERT BADEN POWELL,
Chief Scout.
April 23rd, 1928.
The green ribbon carrying the insignia of the Silver Wolf was bung round the Commissioner’s neck by His Excellency, who then called for three cheers from the Scouts, which they accorded in traditional fashion with their hats on their staves.
The Greatest Award.
The Rev. G.T.Walegrave addressing the assembly said that he did not know how to thank His Excellency for his kind words, and he appreciated more than he could say the award which had been made to him. But the greatest award had been the pleasure he had found in the work and the friends he had gained in the scout movement. He spoke of the extraordinary courage shown by the Chinese scout masters in having taken up fearlessly this movement to bring boys of this old nation into line with boys of other newer civilizations the world over, and their clearness of vision which enabled them to see that there was nothing in the scout movement to which any boy could not subscribe.
Three cheers were given by the scouts for His Excellency, who received their salute.

總領袖訓詞
金文泰爵士對總監致評：
華德利先生，在童子軍總會香港分會會務委員會的一致同意，以及我的衷心讚譽，總領袖貝登堡爵士決定頒授銀狼勳章(Silver Wolf)，這是他所頒授的最高榮譽獎勵。
你與童子軍的連繫，可追溯至1908年12月，當時你是謝爾本第3旅(多實)(3rd Sherborne (Dorset) Troop)的旅長(Scoutmaster)，後轉屬劍橋第5旅(佩斯學校)(5th Cambridge (Perse School) Troop)，以及密德蘭第102旅(伯明翰堂區教堂)(102nd Midland (Birmingham Parish Church) Troop)，你亦於伯明翰童軍執行委員會中擔任伯明翰中區童軍代表。1915年，你與童軍領袖訓練隊(Scout Officers Training Corps)的伯蘭特男爵(Baron F.van Pallandt)於荷蘭的格羅寧根(Groningen)一同建立了童軍集訓營地。1917至1918年間你帶領的海童軍小隊成為了洛斯托夫特海軍基地(Lowestoft Naval Base)的海童軍傳訊隊。至1921年10月開始，你成為了香港童子軍總監。
這20多年來的傑出服務，贏得了總領袖對你的嘉許。
新秘書宣誓
隨後，香港童子軍總會的新秘書黃思域先生(Mr. J.A.Worswick)被傳喚至總督閣下及總監面前，以至誠宣誓，並與童軍們互相敬禮。
銀狼勳章
尊敬的羅旭龢博士 CMG聖米迦勒及聖佐治同袍勳章 為總領袖召喚了華德利牧師，並表示衷心認同總督閣下對總監的讚譽。對多年來能與華德利先生合作感到十分榮幸，亦對其睿智、聰慧、盡忠職守表示讚嘆不已。總監因眾多功績而獲此殊榮，深受總會全體人員的認同。為此，他 (羅旭龢博士) 為華德利先生致以熱誠祝賀。
證書
羅旭龢博士宣讀了由總領袖貝登堡爵士(Sir Robert Baden Powell)所頒授的證書：

總領袖
1928年4月23日
總督閣下將一條綠色綬帶繫著銀狼的勳章掛在總監的頸上，並帶領全體童軍依傳統「棍上掛帽」，對總監三歡呼致賀。
最高獎勵
華德利牧師對大會致詞，對總督閣下表示無言感激，並對獲授此章感到十分榮幸。但對他來說，最好的獎勵其實是來自參與運動所得到的樂趣，以及認識一群同甘共苦的朋友。他特別提到各中國童軍領袖正十分努力地引領這文明古國的小童與世界各地的文明新晉走在一起，他們對未來的前瞻，將來訓練出的童軍，在面對所有事情都會所向披靡。
最後，總督閣下接受了全體童軍的三歡呼。
