Support For Jenny Rodgers' Daughters

Jenny Rodgers, the General Manager, Lower North Island and National Schools Manager sadly passed away in the crash north of Taupo on Sunday, 28 April 2019 whilst travelling for work.

Jenny has dedicated over 30 years of her life to bettering the lives of young people in New Zealand through Scouting. Now is our chance to give back to her family and ensure that the loss of an income does not affect her children and they are able to participate in opportunities that Jen wanted them to have.

Jenny’s bright smile, loud laugh and passion for life would fill the room wherever she was. Her dedication to family and passion for Scouting was deep. Jenny’s passing is a loss for the family and Movement on many levels.

Jenny’s caring and selfless nature meant that she was fondly known as ‘Scout Mum’ to many. Her ability to take people under her wing and to go out of her way to help others no matter the task was something that will be sorely missed. Jenny lived by the Scout values and role modelled them every day.

Jenny was a dedicated volunteer taking on many leadership roles in SCOUTS across her 30 years of service. Jenny was also a valued staff member of SCOUTS New Zealand for over ten years and was the “go to” person for volunteers and staff alike.
