The 1st Hong Kong Canadian Scout Group (1stHKCSG) was originally founded in 1992 by the Canadian International School Parents’ Association. We are the only Canadian Scout Group operating outside of Canada under Scouts Canada.
All Scouters of the Group are parents who volunteer. They are enthusiastic and concerned about the intellectual thinking, social and teamwork development, and the physical health of the youth. They are also committed to mentoring the Scouting members to become responsible members of the community. The presence of Canadian Scouting in the Canadian International School of Hong Kong has created a truly Canadian environment for learning, playing and Scouting.
WHO WE ARE
Founded in 1992 at the Canadian International School of Hong Kong, the 1st Hong Kong Canadian Scout Group has an initial Group of three Sections with 18 Beavers, 12 Cubs and 12 Scouts, with a total of 25 volunteer parent Scouters and parent help.
The Group Committee is essentially responsible for providing service and support to the Section Scouters and providing for quality programs on behalf of Scouts Canada. Through the Group Commissioner, the Group Committee provides the administrative foundation for the Section Scouters to do their job.
Scouting could not exist in Canada without partnerships with community-minded organizations. A Sponsor is an organization, which agrees to use one or more of Scouting’s programs. The Scouting responsibilities of a Sponsor is to assist in providing resources to enable the Group to promote the goals and ideals of the sponsor and training for Scouters in the goals and ideals of the Sponsor, in keeping with Scouts Canada’s Mission, Principles, Policies and Standard Operating Procedures.
