Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1935

The 15th HKG Scout troop organized a bicycle trip from Hong Kong all the way to Chungshan / Zhongshan and Macao on December 1935.

Here's a picture of 3 of the Scouts posing with their bicycles before their journey.

A commemorative flag was made with signatures from participating scouts, framed and (amazingly) still surviving in the scout room to this day (https://gwulo.com/atom/38741)

Here's a picture of the Scouts posing with their bicycles on the way of their journey, along with presumably some supplies.

The writings at the lower half are written by staff/pupils from the schools that the bicycle group have visited along the way. Transcribe (and translate wherever possible) from the top, left to right as below:

Found this together with a couple of old photos dated back to 1935, assuming they are related. No names and location labelled too, so hopefully I can get some help from here.

On December that year, the Scout troop organized a bicycle trip from Hong Kong all the way to Chungshan / Zhongshan and Macao following the route of KCR.

Looks like the members are at fall-in attention facing their group flag and waiting for leader's inspection.

Middle group seems to be Sea Scouts as they have bright white uniform with dark socks, and their oars can be seen laying behind.

Location unknown, but a flat grassland with no trees and a concrete staircase seen going up the slope of the hill, probably a dedicated campsite.

Another angle of the same camp. Sea Scout leader (bright white uniform) seen inspecting the neckerchief of a scout member, while other members stand at attention.

Old/Traditional style scout hat can be seen. These would be replaced by a beret, and the traditional style now relegated as a ceremonial item.

Scouts saluting to the flag while standing in front of their campsite.

More background can be seen, however I still have no idea where this would be.
