Who among us can claim to being a Boy Scout at some time in their lives? I can, but that was over 25 years ago.
In January of this year I attended the 16th New Zealand Scout Jamboree as part of the General Staff and it was there I was introduced to the Masonic Scouters’ Association.
All you needed to attend a meeting was your regalia and a scout uniform, neither of which I had because my outfit was a red T-shirt and Staff Scarf.
One of the people I ran into at the Jamboree was Brother Ron Zeilstra from Wairoa, who organized a Scout Uniform for me, so on the 3rd of January 23 Masons boarded a bus to Barton Street in Hamilton where the Lodge Tawhiri No 166 hosted one of the first Masonic meetings of the year.
