Leaders wanted!
Be Prepared... to rediscover adventure!
We are looking for suitable and interested people aged 18 years of age and older who are interested in becoming a Kea or Cub Leader at our Tawa Scout Group.
- Kea's are aged 6 & 7 years
- Cubs are aged from 8 to 10 years
Being a Leader has many benefits and provides many opportunities. Leaders come from all walks of life, from parents of Scouts, to childhood Scouts, to people with no Scouting experience at all! Get involved in your community and it looks great on your CV also.
A Leader needs to be a motivated individual with a commitment to supporting our varied, exciting and dynamic programs. Scouts NZ helps us deliver this by providing training and support in all aspects of Scouting, youth leadership, programming and safety.
Leader training is provided and normally, Leaders need to commit to Group meetings one night per week during school term, a programme meeting each term, and perhaps a few weekends a year for outdoor activities such as hiking and camping trips.
More information is available here members.scouts.org.nz...
If you are interested or have questions please contact our Group Leader, Michael Corcoran on 0272758091 - email tawa@group.scouts.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
