he King Scout/ Queen Scout/ Pengakap Raja (the name varies according to the
sovereign), is the highest award in Scouting (presently reserved for Senior
Scouts only) and is the ultimate aspiration for all V.I. Scouts. Versatility,
hard work, patience, attention to detail, thorough knowledge of
Scoutcraft, moral integrity these are the attributes that one associates
with a recipient of the award. The following is a list of V.I. Scouts who
have won the award over the years and the (approximate) year in which they
won it. Winning it could mean either that he finished his test, or was
standardised, or was presented with the award in that year. The list begins
with Chief Patrol Leader Choong Wan Chan. In fact, there have been more King
Scouts/ Queen Scouts/ Pengakap Raja than this list suggests, but their names
were never recorded in the Scout reports of the Victorian magazines.
Nonetheless, may this list be an inspiration to future generations of V.I.
Scouts. |
