It’s almost that time of the year again where we wear our Scout Scarf to work or school for the day (or wherever else we might be headed!) This is a great way to show our Scout pride and to let others know how awesome Scouting is! This year Scarf Day will be celebrated on Tuesday 1st August. Please see below

On Tuesday August 1st, Scouts all over the country participated in Scout Scarf Day.  Scarf Day is an annual event where Scouts get to show their Scout pride and increase the public’s awareness of Scouting. Scarves were worn to school, work, World Scout Jamboree, sports games, swimming pools, and other fun places!   Scouts Aotearoa also ran it’s annual Scarf Day

From the 11th – 15th April 19 young people from all over New Zealand sailed and kayaked around various islands in the Hauraki Gulf and practiced their new seamanship knowledge and leadership skills as part of the ATL@S National School!

Over Easter, Rovers in NZ as well as a contingent from Australia came together on the West Coast for their annual Moot!

The Northland Regatta took place 10th – 12th March in Kai Iwi. Check out photos from the event.

Usually held to coincide with Founder’s Day weekend, mudslides are hosted by Groups and Zones across the country.  They are a great day for the whole family and a chance for the public to come along and see what Scouts is all about.  

Every year on 22 February we recognise the birthday of our Founder, Lord Baden-Powell, as well as celebrate the lasting legacy of the Scout Movement. For over 100 years, young people have been taught life and leadership skills to improve their local communities and create a better world!

Youth from all over New Zealand, Australia and further afield came together for ten days of action-packed fun from 29th Dec to 8th January.

From the 7th -19th January, 70 students descended upon Matamata for the 56th Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School.

Held over the summer break, we had another hugely successful Canoe School this year. 16 Scouts and Venturers, plus four adults, spent a week paddling the Whanganui River (approximately 125kms!).
