JAMBORALLY
SCOUTS AND GUIDES TO GATHER
“A few words on the Jamborally” was the subject of a broadcast talk given last night from ZBW by Lady Southorn, Colony Commissioner for Girl Guides, and the Rev. N.V.Halward, Colony Commissioner, for Boy Scouts.
The Jamborally is the Scout and Guide celebration of the King’s Silver Jubilee, and will be held on the Hongkong Football Club ground on Wednesday, May 8 at 4 p.m. in the presence of His Excellency the Governor and Lady Peel.
Commencing the talk Lady Southorn said:
Good evening everybody. Mr. Halward with the courtesy characteristic of Scouts in general and himself in particular has given me the first word on the principle of “Ladies First.” You may remember a less chivalrous action perpetrated by a man who was traveling in sleigh with his wife through Russia; a pack of wolves pursued them and as the leader of the pack drew level with the sleigh the man threw out his wife saying “Ladies First,” I would not for a moment have you think Mr. Halward is throwing me to the wolves. No, he is merely giving me the first chance of interesting the kindly intelligent public of Hongkong in what we have to say. I trust sincerely that a substantial number of you are still listening.
Our object is to interest you in our Jamborally of Scouts and Guides which we hope will take place weather permitting on Wednesday May 8 at the Hongkong Football Ground at 4 p.m. in the presence of His Excellency the Governor and Lady Peel. This Jamborally is the Scout and Guide celebration of the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty King George V. No two people have realised more fully the ideals of Scouts and Guides than Their Majesties who during a quarter of a century have given their unremitting and untiring devotion to service for the Empire and for their people. They are an inspiration to the two Movements.
I will now allow Mr. Halward to get in a word edgeways and speak for our elder brothers the Scouts.
Scout Movement
Mr. Halward said.- I would like to remind you all that the Boy Scout Movement was inaugurated in 1908 – our sister organisation, the Girl Guides’ Association being founded two years later in 1910. Since those early days the Scout Movement has grown in a most wonderful way, so much so that at the end of last year the Boy Scouts of the world totaled 2,362,192. To what can we attribute this amazing growth? I think the answer lies in the words of Professor L.P.Jacks who thus visualises the method of Scouting:- “No greater educational discovery was ever made than when Baden Powell conceived the idea of utilizing the play instinct of boys their love of adventure, their devilry, and their aptitude for getting into mischief as a means of training them in courage, competence, self control, self respect, loyalty, discipline, responsibility and welding them on that basis into a world wide community. The art of turning a crowd into a community by use of the recreational method, and so converting recreation into the finest education imaginable, has no more telling example than the Scout Movement.”
Here is a story I read the other day which will give you an idea of the stuff Scouts are made of. “Eighty miles beyond Broken Hill in Australia, towards the interior where the aborigines are still seen, there is a colony of settlers who spend their lives digging for opal and other precious stones. They have wireless for a medical service, flying nurses, flying doctors and a flying parson.
It was learnt that a sick man from the Colony was being brought into the settlement by his 13 years old son who had been a Scout. Soon after leaving his homestead he became unconscious. The boy tied him on his camel and brought him in to the settlement, but he died soon after. At dawn the next day the boy collected the camels, climber on the back of the leader and set off on his homeward trek. His only remark was: “I have got to go back, I am the only man there.”
Over 600 Boys
In Hongkong we have at present 22 Troops of Scouts and 8 Packs of Wolf Cubs, numbering well over 600 boys. We do hope that many of you will be able to find the time to come along and see them together with the Guides on Wednesday, May 8; we are doing our best to put up a good show and it only remains for you to come along and see it.
Some of you will remember that the other night, there was a broadcast of a speech made by the Prince of Wales on behalf of the Jubilee Trust Fund which is to be the gift from all the subjects of the King who wish to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of His Majesty’s reign. Gifts from a penny upwards will be received and the Prince told us that the King desired to spend the gift upon his youthful subjects, chiefly boys and girls between 14 and 18, who need open air training and recreation and healthy minds in healthy bodies. His Majesty will not create new organisations but will devote the money to those who are already trying to carry out this work and among the organisations the Prince mentioned were the Scouts and Guides. It was great to hear that, and I appeal to you all to consider associating yourselves with the Prince’s closing sentence: “We must make of this Jubilee Year, not only a time of thanksgiving for a great reign, but at the same time the inauguration of even more important years in which, to an ever greater extent, the rising generation will be given a better chance.”
I have spoken far too long and I am in danger, not of throwing Lady Southorn to the Wolves, but of crowding her out altogether!
Colony Standard
Lady Southorn said.- I feel that Mr. Halward has expressed so eloquently all that the Scout Movement represents that I need only say the Guide Movement follows in the Scouts’ footsteps. There are over a million Guides of all nationalities in the world today. Whereas the Scouts naturally cover more of the adventurous side of the Movements, the Guides cultivate domestic accomplishments, at the same time sharing in the open air life of Scouting and Guiding.
This is the first occasion in the Colony on which the Scouts and Guides have held a Joint Rally and we want to make a tremendous success of it.
We can offer you plenty of variety. There will be a March Past of Scouts and Cubs, Guides and Brownies. His Excellency the Governor will take the Salute. There will be Bridge Building by the Scouts and a Floral Pageant by the Guides, Badge Work Displays and Folk Dancing.
The Colony Standard will be presented to the Colony Commissioner by Lady Peel. This Standard has been beautifully carried out according to correct heraldic instructions from Headquarters. It is of blue silk and bears the Hongkong Guides’ Badge and the Girl Guides Trefoil and Motto: “Be Prepared.”
There will be a Sale of Handicrafts by Guides and the work of Scouts will be on exhibition.
The Band of the 1st Lincolnshire Regiment under the leadership of Bandmaster Griffett will play during the afternoon by kind permission of Lieutenant Colonel Boys and the Officers of the Regiment.
The date of the Rally is Wednesday, May 8 at 4 p.m. at the Hongkong Football Club Ground at Happy Valley (by kind permission of the Committee of the Club). In the event of rain the Rally will be postponed till Wednesday, May 15. Notice of postponement will be given on the Radio at 12.30 and 1.30 p.m. on Wednesday May 8.
But with Scout and Guide optimism we hope that fine weather will be our lot and we trust you will all wish us good luck.
The price of admission is $1 to the covered stands and 20 cents to the open stands.
No seats are reserved, so please come along early, the day is Wednesday, May 8 and the time is 4 p.m., the place the Hongkong Football Club Ground.

大會操
童軍及女童軍大集會
「關於大會操的幾句話」是昨晚ZBW廣播電台的清談節目，嘉賓為香港女童軍總監修頓夫人(Lady Southorn)及香港童子軍總監侯利華牧師(Rev. N.V.Halward)。
大會操乃童軍及女童軍為祝賀英王佐治五世(King George V)登基銀禧紀念而舉辦，活動將於5月8日星期三下午4時，在香港足球會球場舉行，屆時總督閣下及貝璐夫人(Lady Peel)亦會蒞臨。
節目開始時，修頓夫人說：
各位晚安。侯利華先生以童軍形象及自身素養親身示範，讓我開場以展現「女士優先」之風度。關於這點，你們可能會聯想起一個負心的故事，一對夫婦在俄羅斯乘坐雪橇時被一群野狼追殺，當領頭狼追貼雪橇，丈夫竟然來個「女士優先」把妻子踢出雪橇。我不會讓你們誤會侯利華先生準備將我踢向狼群，絕對不是，他其實是給我機會讓各位良善聰穎的香港市民留意由我公布的一件有趣事情，我真心希望現在仍有多位聽眾收聽。
這件有趣的事，就是童軍及女童軍聯合大會操，如天氣良好，將於5月8日星期三下午4時，在香港足球會球場舉行，屆時總督閣下及貝璐夫人亦會蒞臨。大會操乃童軍及女童軍為祝賀英王佐治五世登基銀禧紀念而舉辦，沒有人能比國王王后兩陛下更能推動童軍及女童軍了，兩陛下為帝國及臣民於25年來作出持續無私的奉獻，啟導了童軍及女童軍運動。
現在我會讓我們的童軍兄弟侯利華先生加入話題，說說童軍運動。
童軍運動
侯利華先生說：回想當年，童子軍運動發跡於1908年，而我們的姊妹——女童軍總會，則於2年後的1910年成立。童軍運動由創辦開始茁壯成長，截至去年，世界童子軍人數已達2,362,192人。是甚麼原因導致其急速成長？我相信傑克教授(Professor L.P.Jacks)已作出了形象化的解釋：「現時沒有任何教育制度，可以取代貝登堡(Baden Powell)的理念。其透過遊戲激發男童熱愛冒險的本能、好動、製造事端的個性，來培訓他們的勇氣、才能、自我控制、自愛、忠誠、紀律、責任感，並成功將之引入世界各地之社區。利用遊玩的方式將烏合之眾整合成群，將之教化成為教育界最佳榜樣，充分引證了童軍運動之無與倫比。」
接着我會分享一個故事，讓大家了解童軍是怎麼一回事。「在澳大利亞布羅肯希爾(Broken Hill)距離80英里的地方，在一個當地原住民生活的區域，有一群開發者終其一生在不斷挖掘蛋白石及其他寶石，他們擁有電召醫療服務、飛行護士、飛行醫生和飛行牧師。
有一天，一名病人由其13歲的童軍兒子帶到開發地，他離開了家門後就失去知覺。兒子將他放上駱駝並帶到開發地，但病人卻於不久後逝世了。第二天早上，兒子集合了一眾駱駝，騎上領頭駱駝，踏上了回家之路。臨行前，他說：我必須回家，我現在是家中唯一的男人了。」
超過600名男童
香港現時有22個童軍旅及8個小狼旅，總人數超過600人。我們希望各位人士於5月8日星期三可抽空來一同參與我們與女童軍的活動，我們將會竭盡全力呈現一場精彩表演，現在欠缺的就是你們的參與。
你們之中可能曾記得某天晚上，威爾斯親王曾代表銀禧信託基金(Jubilee Trust Fund)作出講話，這個基金是為各位臣民向國王登基25周年贈禮所設，禮金少至1便士亦可。親王殿下表示，陛下希望相關基金可用作推動青少年發展，主要對象為14至18歲之青年男女，給予機會讓他們得到戶外訓練、遊樂，以達致身心健康發展。陛下不會另立新組織，而是希望將相關資金投入現正進行相關工作之機構，親王殿下所提及之機構，包括了童軍及女童軍。這個消息當然令人高興，而我亦呼籲各位以行動響應親王令旨之結語：「齊來讓這個禧年，不單為慶祝偉大之統治，而是成就一項更重要事情之年，就是在更大程度上，為新生一代創造更多機會的年份。」
言談之多，讓我置身於危險了，不是將修頓夫人踢入狼群，而是快將她踢離錄音室了！
本地徽章
修頓夫人說：我覺得侯利華先生已將童軍運動的一切詳述了一遍，而我希望補充的是女童軍運動與童軍步伐一致。現時世界各地有超過100萬名女童軍，當童軍側重於探險層面，女童軍則把重點放在家庭事務，同時兩運動一同享受戶外生活。
今次是本地童子軍及女童軍首次聯合集會，祝願活動取得巨大成功。
我們將為大眾帶來多項表演，首先有童軍及小狼、女童軍及小棕仙一同進行分列式步操，向總督閣下致敬，接着是童軍架搭橋樑，女童軍花藝巡遊，專科徽章項目演示，民俗舞蹈。
貝璐夫人將向女童軍總監致送香港旗幟，這面旗幟經總部指示精美製作，由藍色絲帶襯托，上有香港女童軍會徽，女童軍三葉草，以及銘言：「準備」。
會場將銷售女童軍手工藝，而童軍亦會展示作品。
在獲得軍團中校及其他軍官的同意下，由格列菲(Griffett)指揮的第1林肯郡軍團(1st Lincolnshire Regiment)樂隊將於當日下午進行演奏。
大會操將於5月8日星期三下午4時正，在跑馬地香港足球會球場舉行 (感謝球會批准使用場地)。如當日有雨，活動將延期至5月15日星期三，延期消息將於5月8日星期三下午12時30分及1時30分以電台廣播通知。童軍及女童軍的態度樂觀，相信當天天氣將會不錯，相信各位亦會祝願我們順利。
入場費分為有蓋席收費1港元，露天席收費0.2港元。活動不設預留席，請各位預留時間盡早出席。記着這天是5月8日星期三，下午4時正，香港足球會球場。
