Pro-Beijing Legislator Proposes Mandatory Uniformed Groups Membership for HK Youths
The Hong Kong authorities had been heavily promoting national security through the city's youth uniformed groups. A legislative councilor posed a written question, requesting that the government require all students to join at least one uniformed group.
The Home Affairs Bureau replied that these groups are only an extracurricular activity, and schools generally allow students to choose whether to join.
The Bureau also reported the membership numbers of 11 youth uniformed groups that receive sponsorship from the government. 8 of these groups had seen their numbers fall in the past four years.
The Scouts Association of Hong Kong - whose Chief Scout is Chief Executive Carrie Lam - saw the largest drop of 4941 members, with 2936 in the past year alone. The Hong Kong Girl Guides Association, whose president is Regina Leung, the wife of former CE Leung Chun-Ying, also lost 2313 members.
Andrew Lam Siu-lo, the legislator who posed the question, belongs to the Election Committee constituency, which was newly created under the 2021 electoral changes imposed by Beijing in order to ensure only "patriots" govern Hong Kong.
