NEW CENTRE FOR SCOUTS AND GUIDES
***
THE SIX-STOREY TANG SHIU KIN SCOUT AND GUIDE CENTRE IN KWAI CHUNG WILL BE READY EARLY NEXT YEAR.
IT WILL PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF FACILITIES INCLUDING A COVERED PLAYGROUND, AN ASSEMBLY HALL, CONFERENCE ROOMS, ACTIVITY ROOMS, LECTURE ROOMS, BADMINTON AND VOLLEY BALL COURTS AND AN ADMINISTRATION OFFICE.
SPEAKING AT THE FOUNDATION-STONE LAYING CEREMONY TODAY THE REGIONAL SECRETARY FOR NEW TERRITORIES, MR IAN MACPHERSON, RECALLED THAT THE SCOUTS AND GIRL GUIDES USED TO HAVE THEIR OWN OPERATION CENTRES IN TSUEN WAN, BUT THESE HAD TO BE CLEARED IN 1979 AND 1981 FOR THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY EXTENSION AND NORTH TSUEN WAN DEVELOPMENTS.
THE NEW CENTRE WILL PROVIDE MUCH-NEEDED REPLACEMENT ACCOMMODATION FOR THE SCOUTS AND GUIDES IN TSUEN WAN, AND WILL ENABLE THE TWO SCOUTS AND GUIDES ASSOCIATIONS TO EXPAND OPERATIONS IN THE GROWING NEW TOWN, HE SAID.
+BOTH THE GUIDES AND SCOUTS ASSOCIATIONS HAVE REGIONAL ISED AND LOCALISED THEIR ACTIVITIES SO THE CONCEPT OF THIS NEW CENTRE FITS IN WELL WITH THESE CHANGES AND IT ALSO ACCORDS WITH THE CONCEPTS OF DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.+
HE SAID AS THE RESULT OF MUCH EFFORT BY ALL PARTIES, INCLUDING THE TWO SCOUTS AND GUIDES ASSOCIATIONS AND GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, IT WAS NOW POSSIBLE TO MAKE A DEFINITE START ON THE PROJECT.
