H.K. SCOUTS MAKE GOOD BABY AMAHS IN AN EMERGENCY!
That a woman refugee from Shanghai as soon as she landed in Hong Kong entrusted a Boy Scout (a perfect stranger) with $2,000 in Shanghai money to change into currency.
That duties performed by scouts in the unavoidable confusion of the first arrivals included those of messengers guides and baby amahs!
That the outdoor camp at Chai Wan has been taxed beyond its capacity, and that the number of boy scouts and wolf cubs in the Colony has risen during the year from 713 to 842, are some of the interesting facts revealed in the annual report of the Boy Scouts Association, Hong Kong Branch, published yesterday.
Covering the period, October 1, 1936, to September 30, 1937, the Report shows a year of solid progress, enabling a reduction of the debt on Chai Wan by $1,800, including a special donation of $1,000 by Sir Robert Ho Tung.

香港童軍使「阿媽」陷入危機!
一名來自上海的女性難民,當她抵達香港時委託了一名童子軍(完全不認識的)幫忙將2,000中國法幣兌換成港元。
多名童軍在當時處理着大量傳訊工作,現場亦有大量「阿媽」,混亂可謂無可避免。
柴灣營地已不勝負荷,本地童子軍及小狼人數於過去一年已由713升至842。以上就是昨日發表的香港童子軍總會周年報告之部份重點。
由1936年10月1日至1937年9月30日,報告顯示了各方面有顯著增長,其中包括柴灣債務減少了1,800港元,以及何東爵士(Sir Robert Ho Tung)捐贈的1,000港元。
