Our 30th year of Canadian Scouting in Hong Kong
The 1st Hong Kong Canadian Scout Group (1stHKCSG) was originally founded in 1992 by the Canadian International School Parents’ Association. By then, it was the only Canadian Scout Group outside of Canada. The Group was made up of Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scouts. All Leaders of the Group were parents who volunteered. They were enthusiastic and concerned about the intellectual thinking, social and teamwork development, and the physical health of the youth. They were also committed to mentoring the Scouting members to become responsible members of the community. The presence of Canadian Scouting in the Canadian International School of Hong Kong has created a truly Canadian environment for learning, playing and Scouting.
From 1999 onwards, the Canadian International School of Hong Kong has become our Sponsor since the school moved to the new permanent premises in Aberdeen. In the same year, we added a Venturer Scout Company to our Group.
To date, we have about 150 members in our Group. We continue to work hard and strive to provide better physical and mental health for young people. Our aim is for them to become responsible members of the community in order to create a better world. This adheres to Scouts Canada’s direction of “Creating a Better World”!
