The 1694th Silver Jubilee District (Renaissance College) Scout Group was formally registered on 15 June 2009 and is a member of the worldwide family of scouts. Headquartered at Renaissance College of Hong Kong (RCHK) it is open to all students of the college. In exceptional circumstances, other persons may be admitted. Applications should be made to the group scout leader and will be considered on their merits. 

The group’s colours are green and black and the neckerchief design is taken from the college’s golden spiral logo.

The group currently caters for cub scouts and scouts, and meets every Saturday morning between 10:00 and 12:00 at the college. It has an enrolled membership of 140. In accordance with scouting policies it is a fully plural organisation and its members are expected to adhere to the Scout Promise and Law:

Meetings are generally devoted to instruction and testing in the cub and scout progress awards, and the various badges. Time is also allocated for scouting activities and an all-important game.

The highlight for December 2009 was the Christmas camp, and the group’s first such outing. It was held between 18 and 21 December at the Sha Tin Scout Centre inside the Lion Rock Country Park. Attended by 108 scouts and leaders, including a delegation from the 57th Sha Tin West Scout Group, the four days were devoted to camp craft, hiking, pioneering and cooking. “Dirty, but very happy” was how one participant summed up her experience.

2010 promises to be a year of progress and development for the group. There is much to be done by way of progress awards and the gaining of scouting experience.

In addition to the scout motto, “Be Prepared,” group members aspire to the Golden Rule:

“Treat others as you would like them to treat you.”
