Adventure, learning, and community for young people
Scouts in New Zealand provide opportunities for young people to build confidence, learn skills, and enjoy outdoor adventures. These groups focus on leadership, teamwork, and personal growth while encouraging care for the environment and community.
Scouts is a youth organisation where members participate in outdoor activities, camping, hiking, and community service. Programmes are designed to help young people gain life skills, develop leadership, and work as part of a team.
Scouts cater to different age groups, from children to young adults, providing structured activities and challenges.
Scouts encourages resilience, independence, and problem-solving. Members gain outdoor skills, confidence, and a sense of responsibility.
Socially, it creates lasting friendships, teamwork, and a spirit of adventure, making it a rewarding experience for young people.
Scouting is active across New Zealand, with groups meeting in towns and cities nationwide. Scouts often partner with local communities to run service projects, outdoor events, and youth development activities.
