Prepare To Become
a Joey Scout
ENQUIRIES WELCOME
Joey Scouts is the first Section of Scouts for boys and girls aged 5 to 7, and it’s all about discovery and excitement!
Joey Scouts are encouraged to express themselves creatively, through games, stories and craft activities. From building monsters and spaceships from scrap items, to growing plants from seedlings and singing songs together, all Joey Scouts develop a strong sense of belonging and an understanding of the world around them.
Joey Scouts learn how to share and care, and help other people. They also learn how to recognise native birds and animals, and develop an understanding of the impact of our modern world on the environment. Some Joey Scouts might even get the chance to have their first sleepover with their unit, an important and fun ‘first’ for developing independence.

Friendship & Belonging
Making new friends and building social skills are very important for Joey Scouts. For some, belonging to Joey Scouts provides an opportunity to mix with a new group of people, developing their confidence and ability to make new friends. Joey Scout families are welcome to get involved too! There’s lots of opportunities for the whole family to make new friends and feel part of the community too.
Adventure
Joey Scouts is often the first chance for young children to have a real adventure, like their first abseil, a visit to the local fire station, or even their first overnight camp!
Uniform and Badges
Joey Scouts wear a blue polo shirt with tan sleeves. They will also be given a scarf and badges to sew on the uniform. Joey Scouts will be able to earn a number of badges as they progress through the section. When you first talk to the Joey Scout Leader about joining, they will give you information about what to wear and bring to your first meeting. You can buy your Joey Scout uniform at the Scout Shop.
