Tawa Scout Group - Leaders Wanted

Alison McCabe from Tawa Scout Group

Over recent years the Tawa Scout Group has been served by some very passionate and dedicated Leader volunteers - across all Sections and age groups. However that team has shrunk over the last 12 months allowing you the opportunity to join our team.

We are looking for adults (18+ years) who can spare Tawa Scout Group a couple of hours a week and become a Leader in one of their Sections:
- Kea's are aged 6 & 7 years
- Cubs are aged from 8 to 10 years
- Scouts are aged from 10 to 14 years
- Venturers are aged from 14 to 17 years

We can offer you in return,
• Fun – working with a great bunch of boys and girls. They have a great sense of fun and energy which you just can’t help but get swept along with.
• Friendship – The people that I have meet while at Cubs and Scouts have been really great people, and long after the scouting day is done, the friendship has continued.
• Personal Development – The Scouting movement has a long history of providing opportunities for personal development.
• Community – We are very lucky to be part of such a wonderful community in Tawa, and volunteering your time to the youth of Tawa Group is an easy way to give back and play a larger role in the community that we all live in.

You may think that you don’t have the skills to share, but you would be surprised, we incorporate everyday things in our programmes, from cooking, craft, conservation and emergency preparedness. We also try;
weather permitting, to get out and about.

Joining us at one of the Sections of Tawa Scout Group is not just about providing an experience for the boys and girls, it is about providing an experience for our leaders as well. The commitment required by each individual leader is not huge, because we share that commitment as a team; it is about providing an experience for our leaders as well.

This is not just about parents – maybe you have a young adult (18+ years) in your family who has the potential to contribute to their community - community volunteering looks great on your CV!

If you are interested or have any questions please give Michael, our Group Leader, a ring on 027-275-8091

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival

TAP Fusion

New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.

Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.


Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
