"Your work in the June landslides, your participation in the Keep
Hong Kong Clean Campaign, and the many other community events in which you
have played your part, show the Scout Movement's active role in the community.
**This is the type of initiative and example for which I hope the
Scout Movement of Hong Kong will be noted in the years ahead.
"I congratulate all recipients of awards for their personal contributions
to Scouting. In particular I should mention Mr. C.K. Lo, your Colony Commissioner,
who has been awarded the Silver Wolf in recognition of his valuable services
to the Movement.
"He has been Commissioner for 10 years, and his term of appointment
finishes in August. But Mr. Lo has agreed to continue to serve Scouting in
his new appointment as Vice-President of the Association so his wealth of
experience will not be lost.
"You will all be pleased to hear that Mr. H.C. Ma will be appointed to
succeed Mr. Lo. Mr. Ma joined the Movement as a cub in 1925.
"Since then he has held almost every appointment in the Association and
received many awards for his service. His appointment as Commissioner is the
culmination of a long career of exceptional service to the Scouts.
"I would also like to thank the officials of the Association who have
donated a new commemorative vase which will be placed on display in the City Hall.
Through their generosity a large sum of money is being forwarded to the World
Scouting Association to be spent on the development of international Scouting.
"To all Scouts and Scouters, I wish every success for the coming months
and my sincere thanks for your good work in the past year.
