Welcome to the St. Matthew's Scout Group - one of the oldest, and longest-consecutively-running Groups in New Zealand.
We have played a proud part in the history of New Zealand Scouting, and excel in developing young men and women with great handskills, bushcraft, physical and social skills and the ability to think for themselves.
We finally have a photo of Rev. Edward Edwards - thanks to College House!
Whats Happening:
We have a busy year in progress, with one of the highlights coming over the weekend of the 20th and 21st of November, when we celebrate the 50th birthday of our Scout Den. The hall was opened back in 1960, so we're taking the opportunity to have a bit of a get-together for old and new members alike. No firm plans are in place as yet, however if you would like to take part in the activities then please email Steve on steve@essentialtech.co.nz to register your interest.
The Zone Swimming Sports is coming up on August 7th at the Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre from 6pm to 8:30pm. If you can't swim, don't panic - there will be plenty of activities on out of the water as well. This event has a trophy for the winning Group as well - so get involved. If you want to attend, please contact Fin (Zone Leader) at finkay@xtra.co.nz
Also, don't forget to support the Group fundraising efforts for the 2010 National Scout Jamboree in Mystery Creek, Hamilton by purchasing Giannis Pita Breads or Spec Papers baking paper.
