North Taranaki Scout History Book

The Project and People:

A group of ex-Scouters have been researching the history of Scouting in North Taranaki, New Zealand, over the last five years. We have published our research as a book to celebrate 100 years of Scouting in the area.

Book Structure:

Our research shows that there were thirty six Scout Groups active in North Taranaki between 1908 and the present day. Each Scout Group has a chapter devoted to its history. Well known scouters such as Major Sandford, Major General Lockhart, Fred (Baloo) and Alice (Darzee) Coleman have their own chapters. Events and places of interest such as Avery Reserve, Gang Shows and Jamborees are also covered.
