THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT IN HONGKONG.
“THE REAL NEED.”
The present issue of the Silver Wolf, the official organ of the Boy Scout Association, Hongkong, well maintains the promise of the first number of the new volume. It contains a nice variety and interesting and very instructive articles by local writers. Mr. Cyril Champkin, the Acting Commissioner, is able to record a gratifying increase in the number of members of the Association though he says the response to the appeal is not so great as had been hoped.
“The Director of Education,” he writes, “has been kind enough to obtain for me some highly interesting and instructive opinions and statistics regarding the possibility of extending the Boy Scout movement in the Schools of the Colony. These deal with about 3,500 boys between the ages of 10 and 17 years, attending 13 schools. Only 115 are Boy Scouts, 170 others are keen and willing to join and 550 more might become Boy Scouts if we had the means of training and equipping them.”
“The real need of the Boy Scout movement in Hongkong is not boys, but men: ‘Scouters’ as we call them, because we are rather shy of the word ‘Officers.’ We need leaders from the schools, the Government offices, banks, shops, dockyards and merchant houses; leaders who will throw themselves heart and soul into the glorious game of training boys to be men. Half-hearted supporters are of no use as Scouters.”
Among the contents of the current issue of the Silver Wolf is the facsimile of a letter from H.E. The Governor stating that he had read with great satisfaction the account given by Scoutmaster K.C.Kong of the behaviour of the members of the 7th (Saiyingpun) Troop, who were involved in the recent sad motor-bus accident. “The record shows that these Scouts, notwithstanding their own injuries, devoted themselves to helping their unfortunate fellow-passengers, thus affording a fine example of the Scout spirit.” His Excellency adds: “The 7th Troop is to be congratulated on possessing members who have so thoroughly absorbed the spirit of the Scout movement as to be able to render immediate and effective help to the wounded, forgetting their own injuries and the shock from which they were suffering.”

香港童子軍運動
「真正的需要」
香港童子軍總會最新一期刊物《銀狼》保持了上期對讀者的承諾，刊載了本地撰寫的不同主題、有趣，以及指導性的精彩文章。署理總監詹堅先生(Mr. Cyril Champkin)撰文表示雖然成員人數有所上升，但他對大眾呼籲的反響卻未如理想。
他寫道：「提學司曾厚道地提出了多項極度有效及指導性的建議，以提升在學校發展童子軍運動的可能性。現時本地有3500名10至17歲學童於13所學校就讀，童子軍只有115名，另有170名積極學童可隨時加入。如能進一步提供訓練及物資，則可額外招收550名學童。」
「現時香港童子軍運動非常缺乏的，不是青少年，而是成年人。我們稱之為「領袖」(Scouters)，因為我們認為「長官」(Officers)用字不太合適。我們需要來自學校、政府部門、銀行、店舖、碼頭、商行的領袖：一批願意為這個訓練小童成人的壯盛運動付出心血及精力的領袖。只付出半份心血的支持者不足以擔當領袖一職。」
本期《銀狼》還有一封來自總督閣下信件的複印本，他收到了第7旅(西營盤)旅長(Scoutmaster)江近泉(K.C.Kong)關於近期巴士意外事件的報告，感到十分欣慰。「根據報告，童軍們不顧自身傷勢，盡力救助現場其他受傷乘客，將童軍精神表現得淋漓盡致。」總督閣下補充：「在此讚嘆第7旅的童軍成員竟能將童軍精神的精髓得以完完全全地吸收，並能於事件中將自身傷痛拋諸腦後，為傷者提供及時有效的救援。」
