Empower youth through adventurous experiences
We are an active Scout group located in Burnside Park with growing youth numbers in all sections:
We have spaces for new youth members from age 6 to 18 years in our Keas, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers section. This provides a great programme for youth, both boys and girls.
If you are a parent or young adult keen to become involved in scouting, we are actively looking to recruit additional leaders. More can be found out about scouting at www.scouts.org.nz.......
Please contact myself for any inquiries about become a volunteer leader or youth membership.
Term 1 2019 begins 4th February.

Baby knitting
At night while watching TV I knit baby cardys, bootees, beanies and have a couple of bags that I would like to donate to a worthy cause. It is all wool and would range from newborn to about 6mths old.
Would anyone have any suggestions for a place that would appreciate it.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
