Joeys, Watsonia Scout Group

JOEYS SECTION

The first section for Scouts Australia for boys and girls aged 5 to 7.

This section allows young children to interact with new people and learn many arts and crafts skills that teach patience and personal expression. It also teaches them important life qualities such as simple cooking skills, cleaning, creating and sharing.

Badges earned in this section allow them to achieve the Promise Challenge Award. There is one major camp for Joeys called Kangaree. It runs for one night every two years for Joeys across all of Victoria providing them the chance to meet new friends, experience nights under canvas tents away from home and participate in lots of fun outdoor activities!

Watsonia Scout Group will be launching Joey Scouts in Term 2, 2025 on Tuesday evenings. In the lead up to Term 2, 2025 we will be running some Joey Scout workshops for potential Joeys to try out a few sessions before our official launch date.

Is your child currently attending Primary School in 2025? *

To register for Joey Scouts your child must be enrolled in Primary School or registered for Home Schooling in 2025. If your child is already 5 years of age but not yet eligible to attend school in 2025, they will need to wait until 2026 to attend Joey Scouts. However, we would still love for you to provide us your contact details so we can get in touch with you at the beginning of next year.
