SCOUT AND GUIDE RALLY AT MOUNTAIN LODGE
GOVERNOR EULOGISES WORK OF REV. WALDEGRAVE
OVER 600 local Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Wolf Cubs, and Brownies, representative of many nations, assembled at Mountain Lodge yesterday afternoon for the annual “At Home” given by the Chief Scout of Hong Kong, His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Peel, K.C.M.G., K.B.E.
From 2 o’clock onwards the various troops made their way to the Peak, gathering at Mountain Lodge for the parade at 3 p.m. The arrival of His Excellency, accompanied by Lady Peel, President of the Girl Guide movement in Hong Kong, Lady Southorn, Girl Guide Commissioner, and the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave, Scout Commissioner, was the signal for a great outburst of cheering.
Following His Excellency’s address, the assembly were entertained to tea.
Among those present were Mrs. G.Herklots, District Commissioner of Guides, Mrs. W.Phillips, Acting Secretary for Guides, Mrs. Longworth, Brown Owl of the Shameen Pack; Rev. N.V.Halward, Assistant Commissioner of Scouts, Mr. E.Cock, President of Hong Kong Scouts’ Association, Mr. R.Dormer, District Commissioner, Messrs. A.S.Mitchell and G.S.Dunkley, Hon. Secretaries.
His Excellency welcomed those present on behalf of Lady Peel and himself and thanked them for “bringing the improvement in the weather,” about which he had been so pessimistic. He hoped that they would enjoy themselves and that the various units would mix together.
During the course of his speech His Excellency said:
“It is necessary that I should strike one sad note. This is probably the last occasion of this kind that we shall have Mr. Waldegrave with us, as he is leaving next Tuesday. He has been in charge of the Scouts for some 13 years during which time the movement has made great progress.
“There were when he came here, if my figures are correct, the following troops;- 1 Sea Scout Troop, 8 Scouts Troops, 3 Cub Packs, and one Rover Troop. Today there are two Sea Scouts Troops, Six Cub Packs, and Five Rover Troops.
“This progress speaks volumes for his work and he was quite rightly rewarded some years ago with the decoration of the Silver Wolf.
“IDEAL COMMISSIONER”
“Mr. Waldegrave is an ideal Commissioner. He begins, if I may say so, with the stature of an ideal Church militant and has great human understanding, tact, and sympathy. He is very insistent on efficiency and that has mainly been responsible for the increase of the troops. If the troop has got to be allowed to exist it has got to be efficient.
“He is going Home, deservedly, after all these years, but I am sure his thoughts will often be across the seas with you for whom he has done so much. I have been asked as Chief Scout to make a presentation from the scouts. In token of their affection and regard for him, and I have much pleasure in doing so. I hope he will be able to keep his eye on you with this very useful telescope.
“I take the opportunity of thanking him myself for the great work he has done in the Colony, and I wish him great happiness in his retirement.”
ENGRAVED TELESCOPE
His Excellency then handed Mr. Waldegrave a handsome telescope on which was engraved:
“Presented to the Rev. G.T.Waldegrave, M.B.E., M.A., Colony Commissioner, Hong Kong Boy Scouts’ Association as an inadequate token of his devoted services to the Scout Corps for 13 years in the Colony by the Council, Scouters, Scouts, and Cubs.”
Lady Peel in a short speech said: “I have been asked to give you this “Thanks” Badge from the Brownies and Girl Guides, and I will just read what the accompanying illuminated address says:
“This “Thanks” Badge is presented to the Rev. G.T.Waldegrade, M.B.E., Commissioner Boy Scouts’ Association of Hong Kong as a token of their warm appreciation of his unfailing support and help, and as a souvenir of the friendship existing between the Scout and Guide organisations in Hong Kong. Signed by Violet Peel (President), Belle Southorn (Colony Conimissioner), Evelyn Grist (Assis. Commissioner), Iris Herklots (District Commissioner), Winifred Phillips (Hon. Secretary), and Dorothea Danby (Hon. Treasurer).”
In reply the Rev. Waldegrave said he could hardly find words to express his appreciation of everybody’s tributes and gifts.
“SKIRTS ON ME SOMEWHERE”
“I don’t know what they will think of me in England for wearing Girl Guide badge – they may think I have skirts on me somewhere,” he said amid laughter.
Continuing, the Rev. Mr. Waldegrave said he wished to thank the subscribers to the draft with which he had also been presented, and said he would probably get a writing desk with it at Home.
“I have had a tremendously jolly time in Hong Kong. This is a wonderfully fine place for scouting, though of course you can’t go about chopping down trees anywhere. You can’t do that in England, which is a very fine scouting country, too. I used to have a troop in a slum area there, and we had to walk three miles before we found a bit of grass and a tree to climb, and while we were marching through the streets the people used to shout “Yah! Yah! Dirty knees… etc. (Laughter).
“It was things like that which made scouting difficult, but which produced some very good scouts.
“I am glad there remains that close friendship between the two movements of scouts and guides… which is largely due to the efforts of Lady Southorn. I hope the jubilee celebrations in May next will be a great success. Remember your promises. They may be tremendously hard to keep, but it is worthwhile, if only for their worth when you grow olders.”

童軍及女童軍於山頂別墅集會
總督頌讚華德利牧師出色工作
超過600名本地童子軍、女童軍、小狼、小棕仙，來自不同種族，於昨午齊聚山頂別墅，出席由香港童軍總領袖總督貝璐爵士 KCMG聖米迦勒及聖佐治爵級司令勳章 KBE大英帝國爵級司令勳章 (Sir William Peel)主持的周年「回家」(At Home)聚會。
下午2時，各隊伍各自啟程前往山頂，並於3時齊聚山頂別墅出席集會。總督閣下進場，陪同的是女童軍會長貝璐夫人(Lady Peel)、女童軍總監修頓夫人(Lady Southorn)，以及引來全場歡呼喝采的童軍總監華德利牧師(Rev. G.T.Waldegrave)。
總督閣下致詞後，眾人開始茶聚。
出席人士包括女童軍區總監香樂思夫人(Mrs. G.Herklots)、署理女童軍秘書菲利浦夫人(Mrs. W.Phillips)、沙面(Shameen)小棕仙隊長朗沃思夫人(Mrs. Longworth)、童軍助理總監侯利華牧師(Rev. N.V.Halward)、香港童子軍總會會長谷克先生(Mr. E.Cock)、區總監杜馬先生(Mr. R.Dormer)、米切爾先生(Mr. A.S.Mitchell)、義務秘書鄧克利先生(Mr. G.S.Dunkley)。
總督閣下代表貝璐夫人及自己歡迎各位的來臨，並感謝各位帶來好天氣，因為他曾對是日天氣感到悲觀。他希望各位可以盡情享受，並期望各隊伍能打成一片。
總督閣下於致詞時表示：
「我現在需為樂章打上一悲傷音符，與我們同在的華德利先生，將於下星期二離開我們了。在他13年領導下，童軍運動得到了飛躍性發展。」
「當年他上任時，如我沒記錯，只有1個海童軍旅、8個童軍旅、3個小狼旅、1個羅浮童軍旅，而時至今日，已有2個海童軍旅、6個小狼旅、5個羅浮童軍旅。」
「這些進展完全反映出他的貢獻，完全具備於幾年前領受的銀狼勳章(Silver Wolf)的資格。」
「理想的總監」
「華德利先生絕對是理想的總監。我認為呢，他是爭戰的教會中的榜樣，並且具備偉人的理解力、機智及同情心。他十分注重效率，這亦是隊伍增多的原因。如果隊伍獲批准成立，它必須具有一定的效率。」
「經歷多年歲月，現在他是時候回鄉了。但我相信他的思念會穿過重洋，常伴我們左右。作為一眾童軍的總領袖，我被獲邀為他作出致意，表達對他的敬重，而我亦十分樂意這樣做。我希望他可利用這個有用的望遠鏡時刻留意着我們的活動。」
「現借此機會感謝他多年來對本地作出的貢獻，並祝願他退休生活愉快。」
精雕望遠鏡
總督閣下將一個精美雕刻的望遠鏡送給華德利先生：
「贈予香港童子軍總會總監華德利牧師 MBE大英帝國員佐勳章 MA文學碩士，以感謝其13年來致力於本地童軍運動。——會務委員會、領袖、童軍、小狼敬上」
貝璐夫人於簡短演說表示：「我被獲邀代表一眾小棕仙及女童軍，向你頒授「感謝章」(Thanks Badge)，並發表嘉許語。」
「此感謝章授予香港童子軍總會總監華德利牧師 MBE大英帝國員佐勳章，以感謝其對女童軍堅定不移的支持與幫助，並以此作為香港童軍及女童軍友誼之證。署名：維萊貝璐(Violet Peel)(會長)、貝拉修頓(Belle Southorn)(總監)、伊芙琳(Evelyn Grist)(助理總監)、艾莉斯(Iris Herklots)(區總監)、菲利浦(Winifred Phillips)(義務秘書)、桃樂雅(Dorothea Danby)(義務司庫)。」
華德利牧師表示各位帶來的致意與禮物，讓他感激不盡。
「身上藏着裙子」
「我不知道英格蘭的人如看見我配戴女童軍徽章會怎樣看待我，可能會以為我身上一定藏着女裝裙子吧。」他邊笑邊說。
華德利牧師希望記下各位向他致謝及送禮的人，相信他要在家鄉準備一張大寫字檯才可把他們一一記下。
「我在香港這段時光過得非常愉快，這裡非常適合發展童軍運動，當然你不能在這裡胡亂砍伐樹木。但其實在英格蘭這個童軍發展國家，你也不能這樣做。記得以前在當地帶領的貧民區童軍旅，我們走了3英里的路才找到一點草地及可以爬的樹，還記得我們在街頭走過時，路人對我們叫「吶！吶！臭腳怪(Dirty knees)！」等等。」(眾笑)
「就是這些事讓童軍發展變得困難，卻由此培養出優秀的童軍。」
「很高興本地的童軍及女童軍可維持如此密切的友誼關係，這很大程度需歸功於修頓夫人的努力。我希望來年5月舉行的銀禧紀念活動會順利舉行。謹記你們所作的承諾，堅守承諾的道路十分困難，但當你們長大後並在回顧一生時，就會覺得所做的一切是值得的。」
