Joey Scouts are our youngest members
Joey Scouts commence at 5 years
of age and transition to the Cub Scout Unit at 8.
Joey Scouts are:
-Discovering the world around them
-Developing friendship
-Experiencing greater interactive
experiences
-Physically active
-Using broad imagination and play
-This is the first Section of the
Scouting journey.
Joey Scouts meet each week as a
Joey Scout Unit, and wear their Section’s uniform shirt, 3rd 4th
Colac Scarf, and a woggle to hold their scarf together.
For our youngest members, the
Joey Scout program nurtures a deeper understanding of the world around them,
with a growing awareness of their surroundings and nature, by getting out and
about in the community.
Like all Scouts, Joey Scouts
participate in the Achievement Pathway award scheme and are presented with
badges to recognise their achievement.
A Joey Scout can even decide if
they would like to achieve their Sections peak award, the Joey Scout Challenge
Award, the highest achievement in the Joey Scout Section.
Every two years, Joey Scouts have
the opportunity to attend a Kangaree, a massive 2 night camp with activities
and entertainment with hundreds of Joey Scouts from all over the State.
