The Motutara Waimauku Scout Group is based at this scout den on Muriwai Road in Waimauku, Rodney, and it is part of Scouts Aotearoa. Its website describes a programme built on three areas: personal development, adventure and community engagement. Young people can join as youth members, and the national organisation offers a one-month free trial, after which term fees apply. Fees vary between scout groups. The website gives $55 as at 2026 for the section pack, which covers a badge, book, woggle, scarf, zone badge and group badge, plus a first term fee of $135 charged at the same time. The uniform shirt is charged separately.
The den also hires out two marquees. The 6m by 9m marquee is about $250 plus GST a day as at 2026, and the 6m by 12m marquee is about $350 plus GST a day as at 2026. The group's leaders are volunteers, so the website says replies to queries can take three to ten days. Because the group is run by volunteers, the den depends on adult leaders giving their time to the young people who come through its doors. Our pick in Waimauku for a scout group with a marquee for hire.
