\"\"<\/a>The Tauhinu Sea Scout group commenced activities on August 1955\u00a0and is part of the Mahurangi Zone.\u00a0\u00a0The group runs four sections \u2013 Keas for children in\u00a0school years\u00a01-3, Cubs for children in\u00a0school years 3-6, Scouts for children in school years 7-10\u00a0and Venturers for young adults in school years 11-14.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We run various outdoor activities based on the Scouting New Zealand national programs. Our younger Keas have a fun programme of discovery and Cubs participate in outdoor adventures, camps and community activities. Our Scouts and Venturers have a strong focus on water activities and are further challenged by a programme of achievement, leadership and service. This can involve attending adventure camps, jamborees and a national schools, plus with the group being an approved Award Unit, they are also able to obtain The Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s Hillary Awards along side the Scout Award Scheme.<\/p>\n

Tauhinu Sea Scout group has always had, and continues to have, a long term commitment to the youth of\u00a0the\u00a0Greenhithe Community.\u00a0 By guiding and teaching them scouting and boating skills we believe this equips them to\u00a0become\u00a0worthwhile and valuable members of our community.<\/p>\n
