Joining Joey Scouts

All new members are invited to enjoy the free 4 week trial period before joining. You will need to complete the the 'Application for Youth Membership (Y1)' before your child can participate in any Scout meetings.

Once your new Joey Scout has attended a few Scout meetings they can then be invested into the group. A uniform does not need to be worn until they are ready to be invested.

To join the world of Scouting submit a ✉ Contact Me request.

Investiture in the Mob

Once your Joey Scout is ready to be invested and join the group, the Group Leader or Joey Leader will discuss a date for investiture and the fees. You will need to purchase a uniform for your Joey Scout before they can be invested into the Mob.

At the Investiture meeting your new scout will stand before the Mob and the Leaders to make the Promise. They will receive the group scarf, badges and a warm welcome to the Mob. Your new scout will then be invested to the Mob as a 1st Hazelbrook Joey Scout.

Joey Scout Mobs

Joey Scout meetings are about having fun. Every activity is designed to ensure that our Joey Scouts go home happy and fulfilled from their time as part of the Mob. The programs in Joey Scouts emphasise co-operation and participatory learning.

• Participating in games, activities, crafts, stories, songs, play acting and outdoor activities.
• Co-operating in fun games and activities that also require sharing, helping and pulling together.
• Competing against oneself and others using small ad hoc groups with the accent on fun.
• Playing in an atmosphere created by our trained Leaders, in the style of Scouting and based on the values of the Scout Law and Scout Promise.
• Broadening the children’s experiences and understandings of the world around them through the use of displays, objects, visitors, outings and explanations.
• Prepare Joey Scouts for the wider program of Scouting through weekly meetings and Joey Fun Days
