6th Kowloon Group by regulation is operated by a warranted Group Scout Leader (GSL), with Diocesan Boys’ School’s Headmaster (Sponsor Unit Representative) as President and Chief-Commander-in-Honor. Group Chairman will be recommended and approved by GSL & President. The three positions will be the primary voting members of the Group Council. The Group Council or Annual Group Meeting is a meeting for the 3 positions, hosted by GSL, to discuss and vote on important matters. Should there be a vote each member of the council will have a vote of equal weight. Annual discussion scope will surround the aspirations of the President, and how the GSL may bring the aspirations to reality.
