Presenter Kevin White
Kevin & Margaret White researched the beginning of scouting in New Zealand, so that they could conduct bus tours for scouts and leaders attending the centennial Jamboree Dec. 28th. 2007 – Jan 5th. 2008.
They hosted 24 tours which took the scouts and leaders to the historic sites associated with early scouting. These included the site of NZ first scout camp, the first scout group and the grave of NZ’s first scoutmaster, Ted Mallasch.
