Hi Administrator,
Nice to meet you. This is a remarkable site. I am Kenneth Wu (胡康杰) , F.5 graduate from WYK in 2007. I joined the Air Scout Troop since 2002. I am currently the Assistant Scout Leader (ASL) of VASU. I am impressed by your site and have been thinking about gathering all available history and stories about Wah Yan Air Scout Troop in a website or some sort of publication to introduce our troop to the public and as a celebration for anniversary of Wah Yan and our Troop. But I have no prior experience in publication. This is just my random thought. Yet, I look forward to collaborating with our seniors in documenting our proud history.

Scouting in Canada __ Henry Lam (64)
I ran one of the largest Scout Troops (with over 100 Scouts and Leaders) in Toronto in the 1970s and 1980s. I had 9 Assistant Scout Leaders, 1 Scouter-in-Training and 2 Troop Leaders. My assistants each specialize in an area, including backpacking, winter-camping, canoeing, rock-climbing, wildness survival, pioneering, orienteering, sailing, CB radios communication, and activities programming. I even had a young medical doctor (Head of Emergency Section of Scarborough General Hospital) as an Assistant Leader. We shot white-water rapids with canoes. We built igloos and actually slept in them at -20 C.
We drove and camped across Canada many times. We even went to compete in orienteering meets organized by the US Military Academy at West Point, New York. Scouting in Canada is much more diversified and fun.

X’mas Group Camp
Campfire !! first time for the new members of Antelope Junior B.
Long after the embers are out, the patrol back in the tent trying to sleep, smelling like smoked meat, the excitements lingered.
Lying between Robin and 飛機仔, whispering under the snores of Vincent our PL, we quietly hummed the newly learned camp songs, still amazed that 古惑佬 and 陸本强 were able to lit the huge fire with only 1 match and just saplings and wood shavings, others giggled at the silly skits and looked forward to the next one.
3am in the morning, 少爺仔decided he needed to pee, tripped over Henry Huang, fell on us and woke Vincent up.
Fifty two years ago.
Tonight, I heard the crackling fire all over again, watched the flames until they turned into embers just like 52 years ago, and was amazed that the memories of that night came flooding back.
6 hours, one cord of firewood, best $5 I’ve ever spent…and those fond memories that were tucked away somewhere, re-emerged again.
By the blazing council fire’s light,
We have met in fellowship tonight.
Round about the whispering trees
Guard our golden memories
And so before we close our eyes in sleep,
Let us pledge each other that we’ll keep
Scouting friendships strong and deep,
Till we meet again.
To be young then, in the seasons of plenty…….
《Lost in Tai Mo Shan_ Came 2nd in Prince of Wales Competition》__ Vincent Lee (65)
Henry Lam was PL of Antelope (my) patrol, JB. He and James Chui Wing-Cheung led us (me, GooWarkLo, Luk LeyTong, Ah Ding et al ) to the Senior’s competition for the Prince of Wales Trophy….., and we ended up getting totally LOST in Tai Mo Shan in the dark……
Once again, Goo Wark Lo saved the night! James used the army phone to get help. The army instead sent for a small jeep from the Tai Po Police Station. The officer/driver of the jeep was quite mad that we bunch of ~16/17 year olds would cause them so much trouble (for the rescue), coming up the steep zigzag road in pitch darkness……
Both policemen were swearing……..; until GooWark Lo recognized the driver as one of his dad’s junior colleagues years back…… Then they stopped swearing and treated us like brave little scouts!
We lost the trophy to the top team. We got second place instead.
(There were only two patrols in that year’s competition!).
I often wonder why incidents like this that happened more than 50 years ago would be so vivid, and yet I didn’t even consider the event in any way “traumatic”. It was just plain FUN !!!!
