Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's son, Chiang Deli, caused controversy when he was accepted as a publicly funded exchange student in Taipei City. Internet celebrity "Four-Chased Cat" unearthed past media reports and pointed out that Chiang Deli revealed that he could not afford to put up a tent during the Scout College Entrance Examination and received support from his family, triggering discussions about "cheating" on the Internet. In response to this, the Taipei City Scout Association issued an urgent statement last night to clarify that due to the cold wave during the college entrance examination, participants were informed that their parents could send them warm clothes. However, Four Forked Cat questioned, why not explain why it can pass even if you can’t put up a tent?
Jiang Deli was awarded the Mayor's Award for his performance as a Scout. In a previous interview, he mentioned that he passed the "Scout College Entrance Examination" and recalled that when he went to Yangmingshan, a cold wave happened and he had to cook and pitch his own tents. The tents of his group could not be set up and were full of water. "I called home at that time. After my father heard about it, he drove my mother and two younger brothers to Yangmingshan and gave me some clothes and daily necessities in a big bag." The content of this report has been questioned by the outside world as to why Jiang Deli passed the exam for illegally using his mobile phone, cheating, and not being able to set up a tent.

The Taipei City Scout Association issued a statement last night clarifying that the relevant accusations were not true. First of all, in principle, mobile phones are not allowed to be used during the advanced test camp. If they are carried or used, the staff will keep them in accordance with the camp regulations. When Jiang Deli participated in the winter test camp held in Yangmingshan in February 2024, due to the low temperature and poor weather at the time, the camp team "unified all participants" based on the warmth and safety considerations of all participating partners. If there is a shortage of cold-proof clothing, parents can be asked to help deliver the necessary clothing. Exceptions or special arrangements are not provided for specific participants.
The Taipei City Scout Association finally emphasized that the relevant circumstances should be based on the camp regulations at the time, actual implementation and verifiable facts. It is not appropriate to determine that there has been a violation of the test regulations or that special treatment was given to specific personnel based solely on information from online snippets.
In this regard, Sijimao read the statement and translated it, "In principle, mobile phones cannot be used when participating in the Scout Advanced Test Camp, but an exception can be made for the level where Jiang Wanan's son participated (due to the cold wave)." However, he questioned that the statement did not explain at all why he could qualify even if he could not put up a tent.
Four Forks Cat also previously dug up the Scout College Entrance Examination project. The test content of the eight-person double-entry account stated the requirement: a group of 4 people should complete the assembly and assembly of the eight-person double-entry account within 20 minutes. The erection was completed in 12 minutes and the bill collection was completed in 8 minutes.
