Ata whakarongona
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai
Kia tau to atawhai
Manaakitia mai

In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices we entreat

Guard Pacific’s triple star
From the shafts of strife and war
Make her praises heard afar
God defend New Zealand

Aussie National Anthem:

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;

Our home is grit by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage

In joyful strains then us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
With courage let us all combine
Advance Australia Fair.

Thank you Bunnings Petone & Pak’nSave Petone!

Thank you so much for supporting our Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings Petone on Sat 4th April 2026!

We had great weather and so many generous patrons!
We had heaps of sales & donations and with Massive Thanks to Pak'nSave Petone's support, after food costs we kept a surplus that has paid our Rates bill for this quarter-year!

Thank you for helping us to keep our Scout Group thriving!
Yvonne :)
