SCOUTING, GUIDING HAVE IMPORTANT ROLE *****

BOTH SCOUTING AND GUIDING WILL CONTINUE TO IMBUE HONG KONG'S YOUNG WITH THEIR SPIRIT AND MOTIVATION TOWARDS GOOD CITIZENSHIP AND SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY, THE ACTING GOVERNOR, SIR DAVID AKERS-JONES, SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY).

SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE TANG SHIU KIN SCOUT AND GUIDE CENTRE IN TSUEN WAN, SIR DAVID SAID HE WISHED THE WHOLE COMMUNITY OF KWAI CHUNG, YOUNG AND OLD WOULD MAKE FULL USE OF THE ADAPTABLE BUILDING WHICH HOUSES THE NEW TERRITORIES REGION HEADQUARTERS OF THE SCOUT AND GIRL GUIDE ASSOCIATION.

SIR DAIVD ALSO PAID TRIBUTE TO THE LATE SIR SHIU-KIN TANG.

+ IT IS A GREAT SADNESS THAT SIR SHIU-KIN TANG, WHO HAD BEEN AN ARDENT SUPPORTER OF BOTH ASSOCIATIONS SINCE THEIR INTRODUCTION TO HONG KONG IN THE EARLY PART OF THIS CENTURY, IS NOT WITH US TODAY, HE SAID.

+ INDEED WE HAD HOPED THAT HE HIMSELF WOULD PERFORM THIS CEREMONY, HAVING TOPPED OUT THE BUILDING IN DECEMBER 1984.+

THE TANG SHIU KIN SCOUT AND GUIDE CENTRE WAS BUILT WITH THE CO-OPERATION OF THE GOVERNMENT, THE ROYAL HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB AND MANY GENEROUS DONORS.
