Joeys

Our Joey Mob meets at our Den on Thursday afternoons from 5:30pm till 6:45pm.

Come along and meet Possum our Joey leader.

Joeys are for boys and girls who have had their 6th birthday and have not yet turned 8. From about 7½ they can commence 'linking up' to Cubs. If your child is 7½ and has not yet started with Joeys you may consider going straight to Cub Scouts.

Joeys have plenty of adventures at the Den and in and around town including:

★ Playing new games, ★ Learning how to make craft projects ★ Going on exciting outings

★ Learning new songs ★ Dressing up ★ Storytelling, miming, and acting

★ Learning about Scouting ★ Joining in sleep overs and Mob Holidays ★ Going on nature and outdoor activities

★ And of course making new friends

Parents and helpers are welcome to join in with the Joey Scouts and share in the new discoveries.

Award Scheme

There is no award scheme for Joey Scouts however there are several participation challenge badges available that Joeys can earn as a Mob. These badges are built into the weekly programs, and cover special activities including:

★ A Buddy Scheme with another Mob

★ Care and Share activities

★ Environmental activities

★ Adventure Challenge

Promise Challenge Badge: This is available to older Joey Scouts (must be at least 7 years old to undertake the challenge), is earned on an individual basis, and can be worn on the Cub Scout Uniform until the Grey Wolf Award (the highest Cub Scout award) is achieved.

The aim of this challenge is to allow older Joey Scouts to gain a greater understanding of the Scout Promise and Law, to learn about Scouting's Founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, and to discover the history of Scouting.

The challenge requires the Joey Scout to complete certain elements, such as research and discussion with their parents and Leaders, away from the Mob meetings. The Joey will also be required to give a presentation to the Mob on completion of the task.
