In the late 1960s and early 1970, fibreglass versions of the cutters began to be produced, the hull being identical in shape and size but the gunter rig was replaced with a Bermudan design using aluminium mast and boom.

Consequent success followed and today the group is an ever-expanding enthusiastic representation of the Waiheke community in National Scouting and has around 60+ members.

As is the nature of voluntary organisations, the Leaders, parents and members frequently change, but the pack and committee remain committed to challenging young Waihetians (Waiheke Islanders) to be active, extraordinary, thoughtful and adventurous.

Training waters are those of Lake Horowhenua, a drive across town but the troop also visits the estuary at Foxton Beach, locations over the Ohau river, Forest Lakes, and competes in the regattas of the Lower North Island Sea Scouts.

The new Building provided a hall, storage and other rooms upstairs, and a boat deck downstairs.

The group has a Kea Club, a Cub Pack, a Scout Troop and a Venturer Unit.

The Hawke Sea Scout Hall, locally called "The Ship," was a boat shed erected at the foot of Jervois Road on a reserve vested by special legislation.

In addition to the almost total loss of the building, the White Ensign flown by the NZ cruiser HMNZS Achilles during the Battle of the River Plate and at the Surrender of Japan at the end of World War II was lost in the fire.
