| In the early 1990s, the Chief Commissioner Chau Cham-son brought the association into a new era by having planned and completed in 1994 the 25-story Hong Kong Scout Centre, providing the association with a meaningful foundation for its development to be financially self-sufficient. The year 1996 marked the 85th anniversary of the Scout Movement in Hong Kong. The Scout Association of Hong Kong made use of the opportunity to raise more than one million dollars to provide assistance to youth members to attend World Scout Jamborees. The 19th Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Conference with the theme Scouting Beyond 2000 was successfully held in 1998 at the Hong Kong Scout Centre. This was the first Scout Conference held completely on Scout premises.[21] His Majesty the King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf, Honorary President of the World Scout Foundation paid a private visit to Hong Kong for the 45th Baden-Powell World Fellowship Event hosted by the Scout Association of Hong Kong from 26 to 28 April 2002 at the Hong Kong Scout Centre. The event raised US$385,000 for the World Scout Foundation.[22] Surfers Paradise Property Managementstainless steel stair rail | |
