We always get the most income from our stadium fundraisers. 2013 is no exception. A massive effort from parents and senior scouts and venturerers means that we should bring in between $3,500 and $4,000 between the 7s weekend and tonight.
Awesome!

Here is a fantastic opportunity for scouts aged 11+. The National Scout Aviation School is a week long activity with a terrific range of aviation related activities, see below. The course is heavily subsidised, sponsored by Air NZ and AirForce, so very good value for a fully catered week. But not exactly cheap! (If you would really like to go, but funding is a big problem for you, please let one of your scout leaders know – it may be possible to organise some fundraising activities in Term 1)
WHEN – Sunday 21 – Sunday 28 April 2013
WHERE – Fielding
COST – $340 plus optional extra flying (includes food & accommodation)
The course is SUPER popular so applications will need to be in in the next week – two at the most.
Contact one of the Scout Leaders for more information and an application form.
At little later this time, but worth the wait! One of the biggest and best attended group camps in manys a year: fire eating, trampolining, ball games, obstacle course, kayaking, rafting….

We all know our venerable hall, erected in 1931, is in need of a bit of TLC. It gets heavy use and has provided solid service for many years. But better toilets, repairs and upgrades to the kitchen and basement and a host of other minor capital works are needed.
A working group of the Committee has drafted a programme of activities that will need in the order of $80,000 to achieve.
Wow – that’s a lot!! Where is that money going to come from?
Well, we are stoked to announce that we have just received a $10,000 grant from the Wellington RSA towards this initiative. This fantastic donation adds to the c. $20,000 the Group accumulated already through recent years of excellent fundraising.
The Committee is applying for some additional major grants in the coming 2 months – we’ll keep you posted.
