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.
