Junior Chamber Kuching was first known as Sarawak Junior Chamber of Commerce which was registered on 19th July, 1956.  The President was Mr. Sim Kheng Lung (later JCI Senator Datuk). 

In line with the developement in Jaycees movement, Sarawak Junior Chamber of Commerce went through a few stages of changing her name.  In 1970, the name was changed to Kuching Junior Chamber. In 1972, it was changed to Kuching Jaycees and in 1995, it was renamed Junior Chamber Kuching. 

The beginning of Jaycees movement in Kuching or in Sarawak was the effort of three young initiative businessmen namely, Mr. Sim Kheng Lung (later JCI Senator Datuk), Mr. Francis Tan Eng Chong (later JCI Senator) and Mr. Jimmy Sim Kheng Hua (later JCI Senator), who were invited by Singapore Jaycees friends to attend the JCI Regional Conference in 1955 held in Singapore. 

They were deeply impressed with the works and activities of Jaycees that upon their return to Kuching, a meeting was initiated by Mr. Sim Kheng Lung where eight persons decided to form the youth training organisation and called it Sarawak Junior Chamber of Commerce, now known as Junior Chamber Kuching. 

In these 44 years, Junior Chamber Kuching had effectively played her role as a youth training organisation. Many top politicians and government officers; outstanding community leaders; leading professionals and entrepreneurs; and scholars of today were at one stage or another active member of our chapter.
