Empower youth through adventurous experiences
We are an active Scout group located in Burnside Park with growing youth numbers in all sections:
We have spaces for new youth members from age 6 to 18 years in our Keas, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers section. This provides a great programme for youth, both boys and girls.
If you are a parent or young adult keen to become involved in scouting, we are actively looking to recruit additional leaders. More can be found out about scouting at www.scouts.org.nz.......
Please contact myself for any inquiries about become a volunteer leader or youth membership.
Term 1 2019 begins 4th February.

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)
.
