Scouts learnt about a variety of pets and what was involved in looking after them. We were lucky to have some pets brave a visit to the hall too.

October ’24

It was a misty evening but that didn’t dampen enthusiasm for zooming around collecting check point clues. Some lessons were learnt about listening to instructions! A few teams walked little further than they needed too!😊

Nov 2024

Tonight we caught up with investiture’s –12 in all 🥳 (some dating back several terms😬). Luckily we have patient youth🤭 We’ve been quite busy doing fun stuff… (and also had a shortage of scarves – now remedied thanks to some talented parents!).

We also took the opportunity to reflect on the year and everyone chose something they wanted to do/ achieve in Scouts this year. It seems we have a lot of pyromaniacs!?

We (Cubs & Scouts) also collected food donations for the City Mission’s Social Supermarket.

Camping in the middle (literally) of winter is always fun. We got the full -1ºC frost treatment followed by rain – with (luckily) some warmish sun in-between!

Saturday was packed full of activities from a navigation challenge and a mini raft race to fire lighting (so we could boil bills & bake potatoes) and toffee pop challenge. A big campfire kept everyone warm (after cooking banana splits, apple pie and damper). On Sunday we packed up our wet gear, and then undertook a walking blindfolded activity (walking in a straight line (or not) to a set point).

Tonight we painted fingernails, designed badges and iced biscuits after a discussion relating to things Pride: Diversity, Accessibility &. Honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We were also visited by our new Zone Kairārahi Regan (who we roped into judging the nails!)
