Kia ora e te whānau,
Today is National Scouts Scarf Day! This day is all about encouraging all active and former scouts to wear their scout scarves in public to make the “Spirit of Scouting” visible: Once a Scout – Always a Scout!
The date of the event commemorates the very first Scout Camp on Brownsea Island in 1907.
As the resident whakaahua was going with the Year 6 ākonga on a visit to Avalon, she wasn’t sure if she could catch up with all the Tamariki who wore their scarves to school. But thanks to Tawhai parent, Bex Morgan who was able to provide her with a list, she did actually manage to catch up with everyone, and in some cases, get some (but not all) sibling shots!
Ka pai for wearing your scarves so proudly today!
