BOY SCOUTS.
SAIYINGPUN SCHOOL TROOP.
INAUGURATION CEREMONY YESTERDAY.
The inauguration ceremony of the Saiyingpun School Boy Scouts (7th Hongkong Troop) was held on the University Football ground, Pokfulam yesterday afternoon in the presence of a large gathering of the parents and friends of the boys, including Mr. Ho Kom-tong, the Patron of the Troop.
The boys in their neat khaki uniforms, presented a smart appearance on parade, and well drilled, were a credit to their school.
The ceremony opened with the “General Salute” on the arrival of the Commissioner, the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave, who inspected the Troop drawn up in double files.
After the inspection, the Troop formed fours and marched past, the Commissioner taking the salute from a position under the flagstaff from which floated the Union Jack. The emblems of other nations also figured in the scheme of decoration of the ground, the five bars of the Chinese Republic occupying a prominent position amongst them.
Following the march past, the Troop gave a very creditable display of figure formation, picking out the following figures “7th H.K.T.”, “Mr. H.K.T.” (the initials of the Patron), and “S.Y.P.” Some Chinese characters were also formed. The boys were well applauded for their performance, which reflected much credit on the training they had received at the hands of their Scoutmaster.
The Troop then again lined up “two deep” and took the interesting Scouts’ Oath of “thrift” etc. This part of the ceremony was followed by the receiving of honours.
Three sides of a hollow square were then formed from the centre of which the Commissioner addressed the Troop. He congratulated them on their smart appearance and creditable performance that afternoon, and dealt on the importance of the Scout movement.
Mr. Ho Kom Tong then presented the Troop Flag and distributed badges – tenderfoot, signalling and other Scoutcraft – to the successful candidates.
An interesting part of the ceremony was the repeating of the Scout Laws, which are too well known the world over to require any repetition here.
Cheers for the Commissioner, Mr. Ho Kom Tong and the guests were then called for and lustily given.
The singing of “God Save the King” brought the proceedings to a litting close.
Tea and cakes were served on a lavish scale on the ground during the afternoon.
It was an interesting and instructive afternoon for all, and when the ceremony was concluded, many lingered behind to see the Troop march away to be dismissed at the school.

西營盤書院童子軍
昨天舉行成立禮
昨日下午於薄扶林大學堂球場舉行了西營盤書院童子軍(香港第7旅)的成立典禮，現場有大批童軍家屬及童軍知友出席，其中亦包括了童軍團贊助人何甘棠先生(Mr. Ho Kom-tong)。
各童軍穿著整齊的卡其色制服，並於巡遊及步操時表現出色，為學校增光不少。
典禮先向總監華德利牧師(Rev. G.T.Waldegrave)致敬，再由總監檢閱排成兩列的童軍團。
檢閱後，童軍團排成四列，並進行分列式步操。總監站於聯合王國旗桿下接受童軍團的敬禮。會場的其他旗桿亦升起了其他國旗，其中以中國五色旗最為出眾。
步操後，童軍團很有創意地組成了一些字句，包括「7th H.K.T.」(香港第7旅)、「Mr. H.K.T.」(何甘棠先生)、「S.Y.P.」(西營盤)，另外亦有一些中文字。各童軍出色的表現，正正反映著旅長(Scoutmaster)亦提供了出色的訓練。
各童軍然後排成兩行，宣讀了童軍誓詞及「節儉」等宣言，然後向總監致謝。
各童軍組成三邊方陣，總監於方陣中致訓詞。總監對各成員傑出的表現及出色的表演表示贊許，然後講述了童軍運動的重要性。
接著何甘棠先生頒授了旅旗，並向童軍頒發了初級章(tenderfoot)、旗號章(signalling)及其他徽章。
典禮亦來到了有趣的部份，就是覆述童軍規律，這項早已廣傳世界的資料在此不再覆述。
然後，各童軍精力充沛地向總監、何甘棠先生、一眾來賓進行了歡呼。
最後頌唱「天佑國王」(God Save the King)為典禮劃上完美句號。
典禮後亦安排了大量茶點。
這是一個有趣及具指導性的典禮。很多圍觀人士最後目送童軍團步操返回學校散隊。
