2010 was the 100th anniversary of the Sea Scout Branch of Scouting New Zealand

Sea Scouts started in England one year earlier by Warrington Baden-Powell, Lord Robert Baden-Powell's older brother, with an activity on board the Training Ship the Mercury from

7th - 21st August 1909. It was, if you like, the Sea Scout equivalent of Brownsea Island.
