Previously, 1923 was taken to be our founding year because the earliest official document proving our existence dated back only to 1923. Now we know that our true founding year is 1922!

History: 

In July 1924, then known as the 10th Troop of Singapore, she originated and pioneered the way for uniformed movements in the history of St. Andrew's School. Her seventy-five years of existence were marked by vicissitudes but she has surmounted all obstacles, and has today, established herself as one of the foremost scout groups in our Island Republic, credited with many laudable achievements.

A reputation attained not through mere reveries but through the sheer dint of hard work on the part of past and present members of the Group. As the Group continues to live on in an ever changing society, the appearance of her members will be transformed from time to time, due to changes in the uniform from headgear to footwear. But the retentive ideals and spirit of scouting, founded by Lord Baden-Powell, will always remain steadfast in the Group.

Montfort Scout Troop was also known as the “2002 Scout Troop” the numbers ‘20’ stands for Serangoon district and ‘02’ is used because they are the 2nd troop to be established in the Serangoon district. Over the years, Montfort Scout Troop has brought glory to the school by winning competitions and organising functions and campfires. Our troop is a highly respected uniform group in Montfort Secondary School ,situated along Hougang Ave 8
 
To create our own exclusive identity, we are now called the “MONTFORT KNIGHTS”, Why did we choose ‘KNIGHTS’? It is because Lord Baden Powell once quoted that “scouts are modern day knights”. With respect to that quotation, we have named ourselves the “MONTFORT KNIGHTS SCOUT GROUP”.  Our troop emblem was designed by our batch of 1996 scouts and drawn by an ex-scout called Dominic. With our new troop name, let us hope that MONTFORT KNIGHTS SCOUT GROUP will bring glory and honour to our scout troop.

Fuchun, is actually the name of a school, the school in which we are based.  We sunk to an all-time low, with only 7 scouts in the troop. But, that all changed in 1996. A few senior scouts decided that if anything productive was going to be done, we must change. So, was born the Thunder Scouts.Ever since the change, both in name and training programme, Thunder scouting has leapt to new bounds. Our membership has increased by 140% !! There was even a change in scout leaders. The former scout leader had to leave for Australia. Taking over his place is Mr. Christopeh Peh. I am glad to say that Mr. Peh certainly gave Thunder Scouts a real boost. Thunder Scouts is a group in the Yishun District, which is in the North Area. The District Commissioner, Mr. Silver Rajoo, also played a big part in the growth of Thunder Scouts. With only 3 scout groups in our district, we easily built up a good rapport with Mr. Rajoo. Thunder Scouts have since been called up to participate in district, area and even national events.
