Sir Arthur Morse Receives Highest Scout Award
On behalf of the Boy Scouts Association, His Excellency the Governor, Sir Alexander Grantham, GCMG, this morning presented Sir Arthur Morse with the highest Scout Award, the Silver Wolf, in recognition of the latter's services to the Scout movement.
Sir Arthur, President of the Hongkong Branch of the Boy Scouts Association since 1946, is the first man in the Colony and one of the few layman in the world to receive this award which has to be approved by the Chief Scout himself. It is more usually awarded only to Scouters and people actually "inside the Movement”.
