The headmaster of Hong Kong's Outward Bound, Mr. J.W. Tucker, regards the coming visit of the Duke to the school as the most significant
milestone in its short history. The Duke's Gordonstoun connection -
Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, was also at Gordonstoun will probably evoke memories when he sees some of the trainees in the middle of their
deliberately arduous, yet ultimately rewarding endeavours.
Mr. Tucker is convinced of the benefit accruing to Hong Kong as
a whole since the concept of Outward Bound was introduced here. A nucleus
of tomorrow's leaders, possessing not only technical proficiency but also
a hidden reservoir of strength, is already in the community's midst.
"And what is more, the early confusion about our purpose has
given way to complete acceptance, and the result is that we are expanding,"
he says.
