PRINCE OF WALES BANNER CAMPING COMPETITION 1959.
HELD AT CHAI WAN ON DECEMBER 9th & 10th 1950.
The following is an extract from the Report of the Rev. T.E.Gover, M.A., R.N. Chaplain, Fleet Commissioner, on the Prince of Wales Banner Camping Competition. We regret that lack of space prevents us from publishing the Report in full.
| Camp Chief: | The Reverend T.E.Gover, M.A., R.N., Fleet Commissioner |
| Assitants: | Mr. F.Casemore, R.S.L. of Hong Kong Deep Sea Rover Scout Crew. |
| Mr. H.Hodgson | |
| Mr. W.Morrison. | |
| Interpreters: | Mr. Stephen Wong |
| Mr. Ng Yan Wing | |
| Mr. Ng Man On. |
The Camp assembled at 3.15 p.m. on Saturday, 9th December and dispersed at 5.00 p.m. on Sunday, 10th December.
GENERAL REMARKS
The Scouters are unanimous in the view that it was both a privilege and a pleasure to be present at this Camp. The behaviour and discipline of the Scouts left nothing to be desired; the spirit was excellent; the appearance, bearing and keenness of the boys was splendid. We were very agreeably surprised at the high standard shown. So pleasant was our experience that we deeply regret that the Camp was not of longer duration.
It was a very close contest. The marking is the result of four independent opinions and all the details have been carefully discussed at a conference held subsequently. The two winning Patrols, the 10th Hong Kong and the 1st Hong Kong Sea Scouts, are particularly to be congratulated on a very fine show.
A detailed list of marks and comments on the various Patrols are appended.
| Punctuality: | Four Patrols, the 4th Hong Kong, the 1st Hong Kong, the 10th Hong Kong and the 4th Kowloon, arrived late. | |
| State of Sites: | It is considered that all Patrols started at some disadvantage owing to the very untidy state of Chai Wan generally. They inherited a lot of litter left by previous campers on the sites, and in some cases this was considerable. Particular care was taken at the final inspection, after Camp had been struck, to see that the sites used were left clean. It was very distressing to find that previous campers had thrown unburnt tins into the bushes together with milk bottles, lemonade bottles, rope, string, paper etc. etc. | |
| Hygiene: | It is feared that this left a good deal to be desired and attention is drawn to the following points: | |
| (a) | With the exception of one Patrol all tents were firmly sealed at night and ventilation was practically non-existent. This was remedied on the spot. | |
| (b) | With the exception of one Patrol some, or all, members of each Patrol were sleeping in clothes which they had worn all day. This was also remedied on the spot. | |
| (c) | Some Patrols had no Grease Pits. Where they did exist the “thatch” was not always effective. Only two Patrols marked the site of their Pits at the close of the Camp. | |
| (d) | In some cases dry rubbish and unburnt tins were put into Dry Pits. These should have been burned. | |
| (e) | Large numbers of Scouts washed in the morning when fully dressed, which is deplorable. | |
| (f) | Toilet gear, and very often damp at that, was stowed among clothing. Towels should be hung out to dry and air. So should bedding. | |
| Tents: | We felt that some of the tents were rather large for a Patrol of six for one night, and entailed unnecessary effort in getting them there. Tents were pitched well, but knotting in this connection was not always good. The Sea Scouts, as sailors, should have done better here than they did. In one or two cases guys were untidy and proper hitches were not used. | |
| Camp Fire: | Items by Patrols, Scouters and Interpreters were of a surprisingly high standard, but a certain reticence on the part of some of the Chinese Patrols to join in choruses etc. was noticed. This was possibly due to the fact that they were unfamiliar with them. It is suggested that they have Camp Fires more often and extend their repertoire. | |
| Gadgets: | A characteristic of the Camp was the surprising lack of Gadgets. Two Patrols had none at all. | |
| Axemanship: | Generally speaking, all Patrols need instruction in the care and use of an axe. This can be turned from a useful article into a dangerous weapon. Particularly it is to be noted that: | |
| (a) | Axes should always be masked when not in use and not left lying around. | |
| (b) | Axes should not be used as mallets for knocking in tent pegs etc. | |
| (c) | They should be carried properly. | |
| (d) | An axe will be quickly ruined if, when cutting wood, the ground, or, worse still, a brick is used as a block. | |
| Food & Cooking: | The food storage was, for the most part, adequate but the boys should be taught to keep it off the ground and covered. It was a pity that tinned food was in evidence so much in the case of two Patrols who brought practically nothing else. The cooking was of an extremely high standard, and all are to be congratulated. The menus in some cases were very well thought out. |

比賽概況
各領袖均為受邀出席活動感到榮幸及高興。各童軍的表現及紀律令人滿意，其精神狀態、外表、舉止及反應表現出色，我們亦對如此高水平表現感到驚喜。如此愉快之活動，舉行日數卻未能增加，實屬可惜。
比賽賽果十分接近，成績經四方不同意見，於比賽後即時開會仔細討論而評定的。勝出的2個旅團為香港第10旅及香港第1海童軍旅，他們的表現值得讚揚。
以下列出各比賽項目之分數及評價。
| 準時： | 4個旅團，即香港第4旅、香港第1旅、香港第10旅、九龍第4旅，未能準時報到。 | |
| 營地狀況： | 各小隊於比賽開始時即面對柴灣場地垃圾問題，上一批使用者遺留了大量垃圾，某些位置垃圾極多。我們在最後檢查即將離營時作出了重點檢查，使場地變回整潔。 上一批使用者將未能焚化之鐵罐及牛奶瓶、汽水瓶、粗繩、幼繩、紙張等等，隨意棄置於草叢間，行為令人感到痛心。 | |
| 衞生： | 在眾多不足之處中，以下幾點值得留意： | |
| (a) | 除了1個小隊外，其他小隊的營幕於晚上緊閉，完全不能通風。此行為已即場糾正。 | |
| (b) | 除了1個小隊外，其他小隊接近所有成員均穿着已經穿了一整天的日間服裝睡覺。此行為亦已即場糾正。 | |
| (c) | 部份小隊沒有隔油坑，他們只配備了茅草束，效用亦不理想。只有2個小隊於營區內為隔油坑作出標示。 | |
| (d) | 部份小隊將固體垃圾及不可燃之罐頭放入同一個固體垃圾坑，其實固體可燃垃圾應進行焚化。 | |
| (e) | 大批童軍於早上穿著整齊進行洗漱，情況有待改善。 | |
| (f) | 他們將未乾的洗漱用品與衣服放在一起。毛巾應晾曬及風乾，睡眠用品亦應如此處理。 | |
| 營帳： | 部份小隊的營帳，以6人睡一晚之規格顯得過大，實屬浪費人力物力。營帳搭建很好，但相關繩結運用有待改善。海童軍作為水手，表現比其他小隊突出。有一至兩宗情況，營帳搭建後收拾不當，及未有使用正確繩結。 | |
| 營火會： | 各小隊、領袖及翻譯之表演節目水準甚高，但有部份華人小隊於合唱環節表現沉默，可能是他們未習慣活動。建議各旅團應常舉行營火會，以及學習更多的營火歌曲。 | |
| 工具： | 比賽的其中一個意料之外，為缺乏工具，有2個小隊完全沒有帶備任何工具。 | |
| 刀斧運用： | 所有小隊需重新學習如何保養及使用斧頭，因使用不當可導致這良好用具成為危險武器。重點注意如下： | |
| (a) | 當不再使用斧頭時，應套上護套，以及不應隨意置於地上。 | |
| (b) | 斧頭不應於搭營時用來敲擊營釘。 | |
| (c) | 攜帶斧頭時應多加留意行為舉止。 | |
| (d) | 於地面劈柴，或於磚塊上劈柴，將加速斧頭損壞。 | |
| 食材及烹調： | 整體上的食材儲存方法是可以接受，但應教導小孩將食材遠離地面及妥善覆蓋的意識。有2個小隊只帶備了大量食物罐頭，沒有準備其他食材，令人失望。各隊之烹調水準甚高，令人鼓舞，部份菜色相信經過精心設計。 |
