Leading Youth to Greatness Every Day
Scouting is a remarkable movement that brings amazing benefits and enjoyment to everyone involved – children, leaders, parents and everyone involved with the running of the group.
Through adventure, we help our scouts develop team-work skills, friendships, confidence, independence, responsibility and a ‘can do’ attitude to help prepare them for the wider world.
Everyone in our group takes part in many adventures & activities at weekly evening meetings, weekend activities in the term, and week-long summer camps (for the older sections). In a typical year, we will go climbing, cycling, caving, hammocking, hiking, abseiling, kayaking, swimming, fire-lighting, community visits, craft activities, raft building and many many more adventures.

Our weekly meetings are in Taylor Pass Road, Witherlea, Blenheim. Our weekend camps are typically within 45 minutes from Blenheim, and every three years, we have our a Jamboree camp somewhere in New Zealand (for the scout section)!
Everyone in our group is a volunteer, which is why we can provide such great value activities. All our leaders have undergone extensive training and criminal records checks, and when we provide “adventurous activities” we will either use externally qualified people, or our own leaders with appropriate qualifications.
Fees vary between sections, around $75 – $90 per term (less if you would like to be a leader!), which covers weekly meetings, insurance, membership etc. Camps cost extra, and the cost depends on the activities – typically a weekend camp costs $25-$30. We do fundraising during the year, and have help available for fees, don’t let the $$ be a barrier!
