We Need You!
1st Marton Scout Group are looking for volunteer Adult Leaders and committee members.
Adult Leaders – WE NEED YOU!
Scouting is already having a fantastic impact on the young people we are reaching, but we want to bring the benefits to even more. By volunteering with SCOUTS, you will help us to bring fun, challenge and adventure to all young kiwis, wherever they are – plus, you’ll get on-the-job, real world professional development that you can take into other areas of your life. A study found that over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been relevant to their working or personal lives.
If you are interested in becoming an adult leader or a valued committee member please email martonscouts@gmail.com

Tacking the bamboo-like pest in the Manawatū
🌱 A new national scheme led by Biosecurity New Zealand is tackling an invasive weed that’s threatening wetlands, waterways, and forests in and around Manawatū, reports the Manawatū Standard.
💬 Our question to you: Do we sometimes overlook plants when investing in conservation?
Have you spotted this weed in your area, or noticed other local efforts to protect our native flora?
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
