Scout of the Year 2023

Congratulations to Lai Shun-fai, Max (5B) and Nicholas Au-Yeung (2E) for being named Scout of the Year 2023 by the Scout Association of Hong Kong.

During the presentation ceremony on 7 July 2024, Max and Nicholas were honored with the Scout of the Year shoulder cords, marking them as the fifteenth and sixteenth scouts, respectively, from the 10th Hong Kong Group to receive this distinguished recognition. With their positive attitudes and commitment to service, Max and Nicholas serve as inspirations to both their fellow scouts and schoolmates.

The College Scout Group now holds the record for the highest number of Scout of the Year winners in Hong Kong. In our scout group’s history, there has been a father and son duo who both received this award; and now, with Nicholas becoming another Scout of the Year recipient, we have a family with a father and his two sons all sharing this top honor.

The Scout of the Year Selection was first initiated in 1987 to formally acknowledge scout youth members who demonstrate exceptional service and achievement in their responsibilities and commitments. As awardees, Max and Nicholas will have opportunities to engage in promotional activities and exchange programs to further enhance their skills and experiences.
