INTRODUCTION TO THE 1st TAUPO SCOUT GROUP
The 1st Taupo Scout Group offers the following sections for both boys and girls:
* Kea Club for 6 to 8 year olds Tuesdays 3:30 - 4:30
* Cub Pack for 8 to 10 1/2 year olds Tuesdays 5:00 to 6:30
* Scout Troop for 10 1/2 to 14 1/2 year olds Thursdays 6:30 to 8:30
* Venturer Unit for 141/2 to 18 year olds Fridays 7:00 to 9:30
The sections generally meet at our Den on Wheretia Street but are often elsewhere depending on the programme.
Our aim is to provide your child with a safe environment where they can develop skills through our fun and exciting programme, which included games, arts and crafts, camping and outdoor activities.
We undertake 2 main fundraising activities per year. These are delivery of the Bay of Plenty and local Telephone Books in the Taupo urban area. We find that this is an activity the young people can be involved in and enjoy. They are also good money earners and without them our fees would have to be drastically increased.
Our Scout Group is run totally by volunteers. We ask that each family contribute to the running of the Group in some way, in addition to the phonebook delivery fundraiser, so that we can offer a top quality programme and so that no adults are overworked. Our group would not survive without parent involvement.
Parents make great Leaders so if you think you would enjoy being a leader please let us know. As long as you are willing to give it a go you will be a good Leader as it is not difficult. As you will be working in a team there is a role for everyone including the bold and the shy.
