If you were wondering what was happening on our main road last night, it was a motor vehicle crash training exercise for our recruits🧑‍🚒

The training focused on scene safety, hazard identification, and first aid,essential skills for responding safely and effectively to real emergencies💪🔥

As the Scouts gathered to honour the Anzacs, we stood with them, and their presence reminded us why we volunteer and of the small part we can play in supporting them to grow into great young Kiwis. Together, we reflect, remember, and honour those who served.
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou
We will remember them.
