since its establishment in 1952, the hong kong civil aid service has undergone a transformation and upgrading from a combat-ready civil defense organization to a diversified civil defense security force, becoming an important force in serving social security. the team performs various emergency tasks in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, assisting regular disciplined forces in rescue work and maintaining law and order. they actively participate in field search and rescue operations in hong kong, such as the search and rescue of trapped hikers on lion rock and the search and rescue of trapped climbers on ma on shan diaoshou rock. the civil aid service is known as one of the best volunteer auxiliary forces in asia and a model for volunteer work groups around the world. it currently has about 3,800 adult members and 4,000 cadet members.
"youth league challenge day" is the annual grand event of the civil security team, marking the growth and transformation of the youth league, and is also a journey for young people to explore their own values and responsibilities. the competition of this year's "youth corps challenge day" was brilliant. the contestants showed high-spirited national character and superb marching skills on the playground. every movement was full of strength and passion. chief pilot liao jiajun from the government flying service said at the parade and award ceremony that the youth corps members were all energetic, their uniforms were straight, and they stood in neat formation on the playground. they must have gone through months of rigorous training and paid a lot of sweat. the results of the members' daily hard training were fully demonstrated today.
the civil aid service’s “youth challenge day” represents the young people’s sense of responsibility and national pride, and also reflects the importance that hong kong society attaches to youth education. in addition to the "youth group challenge day", the civil security service youth group also actively participated in mainland exchange activities, including "ningxia cultural tour 2024", "beijing and nanjing aerospace science and technology investigation team", "ten thousand miles tour 2024", "zhongshan and foshan exploration tour 2024", etc. these activities help young people understand chinese culture and national security, and enhance their national pride, laying a solid foundation for them to better serve the society in the future. the civil security service will continue to encourage youth group members to participate in discipline training and social services, and assist in promoting national security education, so as to cultivate young people into responsible citizens and future leaders.
