Warkworth Scouts will hold a Halloween Quiz Night at the Warkworth RSA on Sunday, October 29 as part of fundraising to attend the national jamboree at the end of the year.
The jamboree is held every three years at different sites around New Zealand and attended by around 4000 or more scouts, leaders and staff.
This year’s event will be held at Mystery Creek from December 30 to January 7.
Warkworth Scouts plans to send six of its troop to the event – Finn Patterson, Brody Waters, Savanna Squire, Miliana Chown-Mills, Robbie Bromhead and Erica Waddell.
Most scouts will only get one chance to attend a jamboree as a scout. It will be their opportunity to meet scouts from around NZ, as well as some from overseas, learn leadership skills, build self-confidence and self-reliance, and make new friends.
The estimated cost for Warkworth to attend will be just under $8500 plus travel costs, so the troop has been busy running a series of fundraisers including raffles, sausage sizzles, spring cleaning and quiz nights.
The Halloween Quiz Night costs $10 per person (cash only). Fancy dress is encouraged, and teams can number between six and eight. The evening will start at 6.30pm. Bookings: ipg@xtra.co.nz
Warkworth Scouts meet at the Scout Den in Shoesmith Street on Monday nights from 6pm. New members welcome.
