Scarf day is coming up next week! First put your thinking caps on and get ready to be creative!

🤩 The countdown is on until Scarf Day!!!
We are celebrating a day early on Friday 31st July this year!
We have some great Macpac prizes up for grabs! This years competition theme is "The Most Creative use of a Scarf" plus a random draw. It's pretty much an invitation for you to have as much fun with it as you'd like! Or if you simply submit a photo of yourself wearing your Scarf you're in the draw! So get involved!!
Take a photo on the day and submit it to our event page on Facebook

OR email it to [email protected]
OR post your photo to Instagram and use
The competition is open to members of Scouts Aotearoa only, however we would still love to see past members getting involved in the day!
Scarf Day resources can now be found in Mahi Tahi.

After much labour and toil and poor screw placements we are excited to announce our newest Venturer: Rattus Ramicus!!!!!

He's a shy kinda guy but he's hyped to join St James Sea Scouts with some pre-existing river knowledge, we're sure he'll be a good fit. Welcome Rattus may you enjoy your time here 🐀

Today is World Oceans Day!

Obviously Sea Scouts think that every day is oceans day, but it is important to pause and think about how our actions are affecting the ocean, the plants and animals that live in it. And the many people around the world who depend on the sea for sustenance and livelihood. With a warming climate the ocean is doing a huge job absorbing much of the extra warmth, and as that continues faces all kinds of changes and disruption.

Learn more at

In celebration and support of the life and livelihood that the ocean sustains, UN WOD 2021 will feature keynotes, panel discussions and presentations that spotlight biodiversity, latest oceanic discoveries, the interconnectivity between the ocean and its ecosystems, and more.
