Be a Joey at 5th Ballarat Scout Group

Joey Scouts are our youngest members

Joey Scouts commence at 5 years of age and transition to the Cub Scout Unit after turning 8 and before turning 9.

Joey Scouts are:

• Discovering the world around them
• Developing friendships
• Experiencing greater interactive experiences
• Physically active
• Using broad imagination and play

Joey Scouts meet each week on a Monday night and wear their Joey uniform along with our group scarf once invested.

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. They can also 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 sleepover with activities and entertainment with hundreds of Joey Scouts from all over the state.
