The Attwoods have lived in Manly for nearly 40 years. When their sons joined the Whangaparāoa Scouts in 1999, Kendall, volunteered as a cub leader. The following year he became scout leader and Cheryl took over as cub leader.
Over the last 25 years, they have attended 10 jamborees, and since covid, they have worked hard to rebuild scout group numbers with a notable achievement –Whangaparāoa Scouts is the only group in the Mahurangi area to have increased membership this year. The celebration was attended by scouts, whanau and other leaders. Kendall and Cheryl said they had enjoyed working alongside countless youth, watching them grow into capable young adults.
“We are extremely proud to now call many of these young people our friends,” they said. The group’s fundraising coordinator Jessie Tucker says Kendall and Cheryl continue to volunteer alongside a dedicated, enthusiastic leadership team and their legacy continues to grow. Whangaparāoa Scouts invites any youth who wish to achieve their best and take on new challenges to enquire about joining.
