The 221st Hong Kong Group was established in July 1986 for the inmates of Lai King Training Centre and Cape Collinson Correctional Institution with 78 inmates from the two training centres joining the Group voluntarily. Nineteen CSD staff were appointed scout leaders.
Today, some 250 scout members from the two training centres receive training under the leadership of 35 CSD staff. In the past 10 years, a total of 1,485 inmates had joined the Group at different times.
Activities and training for the young scouts include camping, expedition, community services, recreational activities and scouting skills such as knotting, map reading, firs-aid and orienteering.
Scout members also participate in activities at district, regional and international levels such as the Eastern District Scout Day, Scout Rally, Prince of Wales Competition and World Jamboree.
