===Sampath Ranawake Memorial Challenge Trophy===
[[File:Maliyadeva College Main Hall -මලියදේව විද්යාලයීය ප්‍රධාන ශාලාව- 2014-02-04 11-41.jpg|thumbnail|11th Sampath Ranawaka Memorial Challenge Trophy
Mr. Sampatha Sri Ranawaka was born on 27th of December 1979. He admitted grade one of [[Maliyadeva College]] in March 1985. He was really an innocent child through he looked a little bit mischievous.
]]


He was one of the little boys who enrolled in the Scout Group of [[Maliyadeva College]] in 1988. He would not have dream that he would be a great Scout of Maliyadeva History. However he became an outstanding character among the senior scouts at Maliyadeva College.
In 2014 "Sampath Ranawake Memorial Challenge Trophy" theme song was introduced with the support of two Sri Lankan Artists ([[Bathiya_and_Santhush|BNS]]).


He was a senior prefect and had a prominent role even in the college Rugby team. Meanwhile he was highly devoted to an exploratory competition organized by the Scout Group of [[Maliyadeva College]]. But he never thought that he would be a victim of untimely death. We still remember the tragic date, 29th of May 1997 that he left us forever, Proving that great men die soon. On that day on words, We were compelled to commemorate "Sampath Ranawaka Memorial Day" by organizing the exploratory programme launched by him.
Annually Maliyadeva Scouts represent Sri Lanka for International [[Jamboree_(Scouting)|Jamborees]] and Scout Training Programs.
 
There by '''Sampath Ranawaka Memorial Exploratory Competition''' has been one of the great event organized by '''Maliyadeva Scouts''' annually with the participation of many schools in the Island.
 
So the great name of Mr. Sampath Ranawaka and the excellent features of the exploratory competition will bring enlightenment to each and every are of the lief of scouting forever and ever in the years to come.
