Waikanae Scout Group - Wednesday Night Vacancies
Waikanae Scout Group currently have vacancies in the Scout section for boys and girls in (or about to move into) Year 6 or above, aged 10+ years old. Waikanae is an active group doing all the fun things children have always wanted to do – whether it is outdoor based activities such as tramping, camping, biking, games or indoor based such as target shooting, scout craft, photography or pioneering. Our experienced leaders help children to gain practical skills and life skills, such as leadership, responsibility and confidence – in a safe and supervised environment. We have a progressive Award Scheme based on the four cornerstones of outdoors, community, personal development and new experiences to keep children constantly pushing themselves to achieve their personal best. Scout meetings are held on Wednesday evenings 7-9pm during term time in the Russell Reserve. If you’d like to know more or arrange a date to visit a Scout meeting, please contact Ingrid, email: UKkiwiz@aol.com
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
