Outstanding work

   After the presentation, the Governor told those who had received King's Scout Certificates that they would not have got those certificates if they had not done outstanding work.

   Addressing those who had been presented with Scouters Warrants Sir Alexander said they have received their appointments because of the support they had given to, and the good work they had done for, the Boy Scouts movement in Hong Kong.
   "I know that I can rely on you to continue that good work and to strive at all times for the Boy Scouts movement in the Colony."

   To Mr. H.G.Clarke, the Governor said the Badge was presented to him in recognition of the very great help that he has given the Association over so many years.
