For All young People
We welcome young people between the ages of 5 to 26 and are open to all
genders, ethnicities and religions. We are the world’s largest non-formal
education institution, serving over 13,000 young people all across New
Zealand. There are five youth sections in our Movement.

Fun and friendship are the cornerstones of the Kea programme. It is
filled with a little bit of everything: outdoor activities, games,
music, and crafts.
Ages 8 to 11
Cubs
Challenge and fun are the focus of the Cub programme. Hikes, weekend
camps, and an introduction to water activities are just a few of the
fun outdoor adventures that Cubs enjoy.
Ages 11 to 14
Scouts
Scouts is about having fun while gaining valuable leadership skills
and self-confidence by doing outdoor adventures like mountain biking,
rock climbing, and camping.
Ages 14 to 18
Venturers
The Venturer programme offers exciting, fun, hands-on experiences for
youth. They take a step up in leading and running their own
activities.
