Wisma Pengakap

Wisma Pengakap, Penang (18 January 2013)


Wisma Pengakap is the headquarters of the Penang State Scout Council. It is located on Scotland Close (Solok Scotland), facing the junction of Jalan Air Itam with Scotland Road. The building was erected in the 1960s.

The scouting movement in Malaysia began in Penang when an experimental troop founded in 1910 at the YMCA by Reverend Pykett but only registered in 1916. The present school-level scouting movement traces its beginnings to the troop founded by Penang Free School teacher Harold Ambrose Robinson Cheeseman on 27 March, 1915.

Today the scouting movement in Penang is divided into seven districts namely Georgetown South, Georgetown North, Balik Pulau, Bayan Lepas, Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam and Nibong Tebal. The Yang Di Pertua Negeri Pulau Pinang, or governor, serves as the Patron of Penang Scouts.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
