ADVENTURE WEEKEND CAMPS FOR TSUEN WAN YOUTHS
Organised By District Office, Tsuen Wan
The District Office, Tsuen Wan, in conjunction with the 48
Gurkha Infantry Brigade, and a number of interested Government departments
organised the third of their 'adventure weekend' camps at Sek Kong over
the weekend.
A total of 18 youths from Tsuen Wan, aged between 14 and 18, took
part in a series of activities designed to develop their initiative and
self reliance and give them an exciting weekend away from their normal
entertainment.
Selected fron a wide variety of backgrounds, the youths represent
a cross-section of Tsuen Wan people. A spokesman for the District Office
said that the idea behind the scheme was to give ordinary youths a look
behind the scenes not only at the Army and Government but also, perhaps,
at themselves.
During the two days the youths had the opportunity to strip and assemble
a 105 Pack Howitzer
Pack Howitzer, ride on an armoured car and play various sports with
the soldiers of 4 Battery 47 Light Regiment Royal Artillery.
Despite the heavy rain on the first day, which caused the cancellation
of some of the outdoor activities, their enthusiasm was not dampened and all
enjoyed a welcome break from their regular routine.
