Tuakau Districts Sea Scouts

Hi folks, Aotea Sea Scouts run several events a year on the Onehunga Lagoon, including the annual canoe carnival and a zone raft race, and the lagoon is used by Auckland scout and guide groups for general activities as well. The canoe carnival is attended by sea scout groups from across the UNI region, and we are asking you for help. The lagoon is a great resource for safe training in boats and water safety skills but has over the years slowly been silting up. We want the lagoon to be dredged to restore its value as a recreational asset. Please can you help by signing this petition and sharing widely this request.

One of our Cubs (soon to be Scout) did an amazing thing last week - Anna shaved her hair to raise funds and awareness for Leukemia and Blood Cancer NZ. You can still donate - https://shaveforacure.co.nz/anna-mc-cabe?fbclid=IwAR1GrBFnzQFCFuIPwREnKD-KWsT3cQ4SADQTR9T1mJu3tIHapnZgGPlY8Y4 https://www.facebook.com/groups/474439452577607/permalink/5672019092819591/

Every shave is different. Every shave matters.

We have space for more girls and boys who want to get outdoors and on the water. We would especially love to have more 13 - 15 year olds. It looks great on your CV and it's fun too - a great way to take a break from your important studies and learn to find your work/life balance. Our Keas (age 6 - 8 years) are currently full but we can put you on our wait list.
