The official height measured by the land surveyor was 40.26m which made it possible for them to finally put their names in the Malaysia Book Of Records as the Tallest Scout Pioneering Tower in Malaysia
On 6 June 2008, YB Dr Mah Hang Soon has officiated the opening ceremony of the tower. The ceremony started with speeches, handing out the souvenirs to sponsors and lastly the signing of the certificate of Malaysia Book of Records.
