Dr Chien-Cheng LUTaiwan

PhD presentation: Scouting edu-cation as a middle school course in Taiwan and Scouting needs a system of persistent evaluation of both Scout programme and its identity with a better life world, and more authentic actions rather than rhetoric.

Culture is different from one country to another. Being Scoutmembers, we have to identify our own characteristics and identity and be prepared to embrace differences.

Quotable Quotes

Reg WILLIAMS (Left)Chief Commissioner of Australia

It’s a well organised conference. Keynote speakers can bring out the points. We have plenty of time, plenty of food and plenty of discussions. Very well done, Hong Kong!

Education is a lifelong process. The booming of internet and social net-working impacts on our ways of learning, especially among teenagers.

Mohammad ALBAHARKuwait

It is good to be with Scouts from over 120 countries. The arrangements for programmes and meetings are also good.

Scouting in Hong Kong

Leadership Training on New Heights

In 2011, during the 39th World Scout Conference, World Scout Commit-tee proposed the adoption of “lifelong learning” in the Scout Movement, and each NSO was encouraged to strengthen the cooperation with educa-tion institutions. In the same year, World Scout Bureau published “Adults in Scouting World Policy”. Paragraph 3.3 of which points out that the Scout Leader Training should not only focus on the internal needs, but should be able to be recognised by the community.

In his book, “Scouting for Boys”, the founder of world Scouting, Lord Baden-Powell said, “self-learning” is about giving Scouts the ambition and desire to learn by themselves rather than receiving instruction from leaders alone.

The Qualifications Framework (QF) was launched in 2008 by the Hong Kong SAR Government to help people set clear goals and direc-tions for continuous learning in order to obtain quality-assured qualifica-tions spanning academic, vocational and continuing education sectors.

With the sterling support and thorough preparation from Scout mem-bers, some essential courses from the Leadership Training Institute (LTI), Scout Association of Hong Kong (SAHK), have been validated by the

Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) as achieving the required standards under the QF –

Certificate in Leadership Skills Certificate in Expedition SkillsCertificate in Adventure Education: Principles and Application

The accreditation by HKCAAVQ embodies public recognition of Scout Methods and Training of SAHK and set our leadership training for new heights!

SeafoodIt’s fried, baked, steamed, grilled, sliced, diced and stuffed. More to the point, Hong Kong’s seafood is very fresh. So fresh, you can see it swimming minutes before it’s on your table.

Chiu Chow Da LangChiu Chow people came to Hong Kong from the region in China’s Guangdong Province now referred to as Chaozhou. Their cuisine is popular in Hong Kong, especially the late night street stall fare, called da lang. Relatively salty, Chiu Chow da lang goes well with a cold beer.

Hong Kong DessertsBefore the idea of death-by-chocolate at midnight terrifies you away, note we said Hong Kong desserts. As varied and diverse as the city that created them, Hong Kong sweets are often fusions of Chinese and Southeast Asian flavours and tend to be lighter than their Euro-pean counterparts. Popular ingredients include sweet bean, glutinous rice, tofu and lots of tropical fruits.

Michelin starsHong Kong’s spectacular rise into a major centre of internation-al trade along with its penchant for innovation has enabled the blossoming of a renowned fine dining scene heavily decorated in Michelin stars and other prestigious accolades.
