THE SCOUTS AND GUIDES
Concert, & Impressive Church Parade at Kowloon
It was purely a coincidence that the 1st Kowloon Troop (St. Andrew’s Troop) decided to hold their annual church parade yesterday, the day following the entertainment arranged by the 2nd Hong Kong Company of Girl Guides and the 10th Hongkong Troop of Scouts. It was certainly a happy coincidence for it enabled members of both movements to celebrate throughout practically an entire weekend of scout and guide work. A little unfortunate however is the fact that the “At Home” to be given by the Kowloon Troop on Saturday afternoon had to be postponed for this event, coupled as it would have been with the other two displays, would have completely filled the cup of happiness of our younger people.
A Splendid Entertainment.
Before 7.15 p.m. on Saturday evening the entrances to St. Paul’s Girls’, Macdonnell Road, were thronged with people endeavouring to obtain their seats in the large hall prior to the concert. The sturdy sea scouts were much in evidence doing splendid work both in arranging accommodation for seat holders as well as behind the stage, scene shifting, etc.
It would take up too much space to describe in detail all the items of the long programme as well as the excellent quality of the concert, but we have to state that, with the exception of the delightful dance numbers by the Misses Ho, the display of club swinging by Mr. Selk, and the enjoyable musical items by the Cheero Band, all the fare was rendered by Chinese Guides and Scouts, everyone doing credit to the grown ups responsible for their training. ”That’s You” the play performed by the 10th Scout Troop was definitely a home grown product for it was written by Sham Yiu Kam a member of the Troop. Mr. Sham also played one of the leading parts. Other items were songs and displays typical of both Movements.
Towards the close of the performance speeches were delivered by the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave and the Rev. N.V.Halward, Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner respectively of The Boy Scout Movement locally.
Whilst all connected with the entertainment worked exceedingly hard to put on a splendid show, special thanks should be given to Captain (Miss) Zimmern and Mr. Halward who were responsible for all arrangements and training.
Church Parade At Kowloon.
The brilliant sunshine helped in no small measure to enhance the effect of the event in the grounds of St. Andrew’s Church yesterday morning when the 1st Kowloon Troop of Scouts under the leadership of Mr. R.Dormer, Scoutmaster, paraded en masse to attend the annual church service held especially for their benefit in their parish church.
Precisely at 11 a.m., the choir wended its way up the aisle to the accompaniment of a hymn. It was pleasing to note that a number of the choir boys were in scout uniform. Then came a small procession of scouts, guides, cubs, and brownies, these being special colour bearers who reverently assisted in placing their banners upon the alter. The order of service was in accordance with the prayerbook, with the exception that special prayers were said for the guide and scout movements. The officiating clergyman was the Vicar of Kowloon, the Rev. W.Walton Rogers, who was assisted by the Rev. N.V.Halward, Deputy Commissioner for Scouting.
Mr. Halward gave a stirring address greatly appreciated by the many parents and others interested in the welfare of the future citizens of the colony. The lesson was read by Scoutmaster R.Dormer. Apart from the full compliment of the 1st Kowloon Troop, other troops represented were Dyer’s Own (The Kowloon Dock Troop), the 6th Kowloon (The Diocesan Boys’ School Troop), St Andrew’s Cubs, and the Diocesan Girls’ School Guides and Brownies.
After the service the 1st Kowloon Troop again lined up for inspection, and the ceremony of presenting badges of the Royal Life Saving Society was performed by Mr. Halward in his official capacity of Deputy Commissioner. The recipients of these badges were Victor Bond and Jack Mackay, both members of well known Kowloon families.

童軍及女童軍
音樂會,以及精彩的九龍教堂巡遊
很巧合地,九龍第1旅(聖安德烈堂)於昨天舉行了周年教堂巡遊,而香港第2女童軍隊與香港第10旅亦於同日舉辦了活動。這是一個歡樂的巧合,因為兩個運動都在整個週末進行慶祝。唯有一點遺憾的是,九龍童軍旅的「回家」(At Home)活動需配合延期,連帶的兩場表演,這些項目本來可以為年青人帶來更多歡樂的。
精彩的表演
星期六晚上7時15分,位於麥當勞道的聖保羅女書院的門口已擠滿了人群,他們都在音樂會開始前等候安排入座。醒目的海童軍不論在座位安排、後台支援及轉換場景等工作,都有出色的表現。
如為這個高質的音樂會講述每個項目,將會耗費大量篇幅,但當中值得一提的,包括海倫小姐(Miss Ho)帶領的出色舞蹈,石先生(Mr. Selk)的棍棒揮舞,以及卓羅樂隊(Cheero Band)的優美音樂。所有活動收益將用作資助這些中國女童軍及童軍,每位入場者都為他們的訓練成長作出貢獻。第10旅演出的「就是你」(That’s You)是完全的原創作品,劇本由童軍沈茹甘(Sham Yiu Kam)編撰,沈先生亦於作品中扮演主要角色。
其他節目亦包括兩個隊伍的歌唱與表演。
音樂會的結尾,由本地童子軍總監及助理總監,即華德利牧師(Rev. G.T.Waldegrave)及侯利華牧師(Rev. N.V.Halward)發表謝幕詞。
活動的所有人士皆作出了精彩演出,特別鳴謝司馬文小姐(Miss Zimmern)及侯利華先生統籌活動。
九龍教堂巡遊
在昨天風光明媚的早上,杜馬旅長(Scoutmaster R.Dormer)帶領著九龍第1旅齊集於聖安德烈堂空地,為出席教堂的周年巡遊作出準備。
踏入上午11時,聖詩隊唱著聖詩進場,令人驚喜的是部分聖詩隊員穿著了童軍制服。隨後進場的是童軍、女童軍、小狼、小棕仙,他們都是持旗手,並於聖壇上虔誠地放上旗幟。儀式程序與祈禱書內容一致,並特別加插了為女童軍及童軍運動禱告的項目。主禮牧師是九龍教區的華頓牧師(Rev. W.Walton Rogers),而助理牧師則是童軍副總監侯利華牧師(Rev. N.V.Halward)。
侯利華先生發表了感動人心的講話,受到了在場家長及其他關心本地福祉人士的讚揚。杜馬旅長(Scoutmaster)其後宣讀了經課。現場除了九龍第1旅有出席外,其他出席隊伍包括戴勒團(Dyer’s Own)(九龍船塢旅)、九龍第6旅(拔萃男書院)、聖安德烈小狼旅、拔萃女書院女童軍隊及小棕仙隊。
儀式完結後,九龍第1旅列隊接受檢閱,侯利華先生以副總監身份,為成員頒授了皇家救生會(Royal Life Saving Society)徽章,獲獎人士是維他(Victor Bond)與傑克(Jack Mackay),皆來自九龍有名的家族。
