🎉 Silverpine Scout Group is back for 2026! 🎉

We’re kicking off the new term this week and can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another action-packed season of outdoor adventures, teamwork, and fun! 🌲🔥

While many of our nights are held at the Silverpine Scout Den, Pinehaven Reserve, Pinehaven, we’re often out exploring the bush, community spaces, and local adventures beyond the Den! 🌳🧭

Our programmes cater for all ages - there’s something for everyone:
Keas (5–8 yrs) – Thursdays, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Cubs (8–11 yrs) – Wednesdays, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Scouts (11–14 yrs) – Mondays, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Venturers (14–18 yrs) – Thursdays, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

✨ Now’s the perfect time to join if your youth is Scout-aged (11–14 yrs)!
The next New Zealand Scout Jamboree is happening at the end of December 2026 through January 2027 - a once-every-three-years event packed with adventure, friendship, and new experiences. Don’t miss the chance to be part of it! 🇳🇿⛺

👋 We’re also looking for more parents and caregivers to join our Leaders team!
Volunteering is a great way to share experiences with your child and support our local youth community - plus, leaders receive substantial discounts on term fees.

If your child loves the outdoors, new challenges, and making lifelong friends, come join the fun this term! 💚
