Cub/Scout Leaders Wanted

Alan from Halswell

Be Prepared... to rediscover adventure!
We are looking for suitable and interested people aged 18 years of age and older who are interested in becoming a Cub or Scout Leader at our Beckenham Ferguson Scout Group, located at 61 Centaurus Road, next to the Brickworks Tavern.
Being a Leader has many benefits and provides many opportunities. Leaders come from all walks of life, from parents of Scouts, to childhood Scouts, to people with no Scouting experience at all!
A Leader needs to be a motivated individual with a commitment to supporting our varied, exciting and dynamic programs. Scouts NZ helps us deliver this by providing training and support in all aspects of Scouting, youth leadership, programming and safety.
Leader training is provided and normally, Leaders need to commit to Group meetings one night per week during school term, a programme meeting each term, and perhaps a few weekends a year for outdoor activities such as hiking and camping trips.
If you are interested or have questions please contact our Group Leader, Sam White on 027 451 2409 or 942 9420 - email skwhite@paradise.net.nz

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
