    • Climbing @ Fergs
      • One of our scouts planned a night out of hall. He arranged for us to go climbing at Fergs just down the hill. The scouts had an exceptional night.

    • Investiture in Patuna Chasm
      • When new Scouts join a Scout troop, they participate in an investiture ceremony where they agree to follow the scout promise and are awarded the group scarf and badges. For our latest new member, Isabella, we did something different – held her investiture while on a trip walking through the Patuna Chasm. Normally we wear uniforms but this time we were wading through water up to waist deep and at one point had to swim – so we were definitely in our hiking gear! This was a fantastic ceremony in an amazing environment – certainly a highlight of our trip. Welcome to 1st Kelburn Scouts, Isabella!

    • Bike Night
      • We are thrilled to have Matt and Paul in to help with the bicycling badge. We covered the Aotearoa Cycle Trail. The scouts were fascinated by the ride from the Cape Reinga to Bluff. Paul Kennett (with his brother) is the author of numerous books on bike trails and biking in New Zealand.

      • 1st Kelburn scout leader Josh Tabor has been awarded a Medal of Merit as part of the Founder’s Day celebrations.
