Contributing to a New Youth Scout Den in New Zealand By Brianna Gleeson
O
ur Simpson Strong-Tie New Zealand branch was established in 2010 and helps provide Simpson Strong-Tie products to our friends in New Zealand. Recently, the branch had the opportunity to help a local scouts club build a new den to accommodate their growing club.
In 2004, Simpson Strong-Tie acquired Quik Drive® fastening systems, a company based in Gallatin, Tennessee, USA. Quik Drive was available in New Zealand prior to the acquisition and has since continued to be distributed along with a wide range of Simpson Strong-Tie products following the establishment of a wholly owned subsidiary of Simpson Strong-Tie in New Zealand in 2010. This product range now includes fasteners, mechanical and chemical anchors, lateral systems, powderactuated tools, and connectors. The Simpson Strong-Tie sales team operates nationally and is backed with technical support and training experts to assist customers with specification and jobsite support. The Motutara Waimauku Scout Group, a nonprofit group located in West Auckland, is home to 80 Keas, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers and many enthusiastic leaders and volunteers. Their group is part of the Scouts Aotearoa who form the largest informal education institution in New Zealand, serving more than 13,000 young people all across the country. The WSG’s purpose is to empower youth through adventurous experiences to lead lives that make a positive difference. They welcome all young people between the ages of 5–26 and are open to all genders, ethnicities, and religions.
