Tawa Scout Group - Leaders Wanted
Over recent years the Tawa Scout Group has been served by some very passionate and dedicated Leader volunteers - across all Sections and age groups. However that team has shrunk over the last 12 months allowing you the opportunity to join our team.
We are looking for adults (18+ years) who can spare Tawa Scout Group a couple of hours a week and become a Leader in one of their Sections:
- Kea's are aged 6 & 7 years
- Cubs are aged from 8 to 10 years
- Scouts are aged from 10 to 14 years
- Venturers are aged from 14 to 17 years
We can offer you in return,
• Fun – working with a great bunch of boys and girls. They have a great sense of fun and energy which you just can’t help but get swept along with.
• Friendship – The people that I have meet while at Cubs and Scouts have been really great people, and long after the scouting day is done, the friendship has continued.
• Personal Development – The Scouting movement has a long history of providing opportunities for personal development.
• Community – We are very lucky to be part of such a wonderful community in Tawa, and volunteering your time to the youth of Tawa Group is an easy way to give back and play a larger role in the community that we all live in.
You may think that you don’t have the skills to share, but you would be surprised, we incorporate everyday things in our programmes, from cooking, craft, conservation and emergency preparedness. We also try;
weather permitting, to get out and about.
Joining us at one of the Sections of Tawa Scout Group is not just about providing an experience for the boys and girls, it is about providing an experience for our leaders as well. The commitment required by each individual leader is not huge, because we share that commitment as a team; it is about providing an experience for our leaders as well.
This is not just about parents – maybe you have a young adult (18+ years) in your family who has the potential to contribute to their community - community volunteering looks great on your CV!
If you are interested or have any questions please give Michael, our Group Leader, a ring on 027-275-8091
Are you ready for the 'Adventure'
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
