Joey Scouts

The Joey Scouts Mob is for young children aged 5 (attending school full-time) to 8. The emphasis of the mob is to on fun and friendship, with a gentle introduction to the world of challenges and adventures to be faced as the Joey Scout progress through Scouting.
Our Joey Scout Leaders guide the Joey Mob as they learn to share and interact each other in a caring social environment. Joey Scouts enjoy games and craft while learning how to recognise native birds and animals. They are encouraged to express themselves creatively through the games, stories and craft activities.
There are lots of indoor and outdoor activities that entertain and teach basic motor skills, whilst encouraging communication and co-operation. Joey Scouts are encouraged to jump in and help other people and to share with their friends.
On occasion the Joey Scouts enjoy outings to places such as the local fire station or receive expert instruction on outdoor activities and safety from special guests at their weekly meetings.

Joey Scout Badges and AwardsJoey Scouts do not work on a badge award scheme. However, there are Challenge Badges, where Mob participation is essential to qualify. These participation badges include the environment challenge, the adventure challenge, the buddy badge and the care and share badge. ![]() ![]() The ultimate award for a Joey Scout is the Promise Challenge Badge. It requires a Joey to research and learn more about scouting, the Promise and the Scout Law away from the Mob activities. The final stage of the Promise Challenge is a presentation to the Mob.
