THE Royal Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers) Junior Leaders Corps will conduct its last series of military-style field exercises for members in Sha Tau Kok during the Easter holidays.
About 100 members of the junior corps will take part in the exercise and the main area of activity will be in Gallipoli Camp.
The programme includes map-reading, radio communication, camp crafts, field crafts, obstacle crossing, weapon training, shooting, night patrolling and orienteering.
The Junior Leaders Corps, under the aegis of the Royal Hong Kong Regiment, was founded in 1970. The youth programme provides an environment in which boys aged between 14 and 17 years selected from the community can develop their character, leadership skills and a sense of community awareness.
With the disbandment of the Royal Hong Kong Regiment this September, the junior corps will lose not only its financial support but also its permanent premises. So this camp will be the last field exercise for the boys.
