Be Prepared is the motto of Scouts Aotearoa. This is something we instil in the Scouts by helping them gain the appropriate practical, environmental and social skills to be well rounded individuals of society.
Is your young person in school years 7 to 9? Do they want to be part of an international youth movement where they will meet other scouts who want the same as them. To become well rounded members of society and get into the outdoors to discover their limits and potential.
There's a myth about Scouts, it's all about outdoor things like tramping and camping and knot tying. This is only a small part of what the Scouts do! They also do teamwork based activities, cooking, challenges around practical skills, lots of games and getting out and about into the community having fun!
With the directive of youth led, adult supported activities the scouts get to choose what they get to do day to day!
Scouts also get the opportunity to be involved in national and international events! From the pinnacle event of Jamboree (held every 3 years) and the annual international weekend Jota/Joti (Jamboree on the air and internet) where scouts get to meet other scouts from Aotearoa New Zealand and the rest of the world.
Check out this video of the Jamboree at Mystery Creek!

Absence: If your child is absent for any reason please call us.
Behaviour: Good behaviour is the joint responsibility of the child, parent and leaders. Everyone is expected to cooperate, follow instructions, and trust people and property with respect. Leaders use positive reinforcement and a reward system to encourage appropriate behaviour.
