Joeys Jump Together!

Joeys are the youngest in the Scouting Family and  learn skills which with introduce them to the world of scouting.   Joey section leaders have names of Australian animals and at Howrah, the names you will use are  Tassie Devil,  Platypus, Bilby and Dingo . 

The Joey program is for both boys and girls and it introduces them to the world of challenges and adventures through emphasizing fun and friendship in a social environment.

Joey Scouts jump into all sorts of fun and games together! Boys and girls aged 6 and 7 years old can join Joeys, and when they do there's lots to keep them occupied.

You can try out Joeys for four weeks before being invested and when you do you get to wear a District  scarf, a woggle to keep it in place, and your own Joey Scout shirt.

Joeys are taught about sharing, about nature and about the world around them. Joeys are given a sense of belonging and learn ways for creative expression. And most importantly, Joeys are taught to jump in and help.

'Help Other People' (H.O.P)

HOP (Help Other People) is the Joey motto.

This motto supports the development of social interaction with other children and encourages a sense of belonging.

Where Do We Meet

Joeys meet on a Friday evening from 5.30 – 6.30pm at the Tranmere Hall, Tranmere.  When we are together on this nights we form a Mob and have lots of adventure and make lots of new friends.  Joeys learn about nature, sing songs, go on fun trips, make crafts, play games and even do some cooking.

Fun Out And About

Joey Scouts do a wide variety of things in their Section. Some of these include cutting, drawing, colouring, painting, pasting, making musical instruments and singing, flying kites and listening to stories like the one on the right.

Joey Scout Uniform

The uniform for Joey Scouts, whether boys or girls, is the same.  When invested a standard Joey Scout Uniform is worn together with  the Group Scarf ,  National Joey Scout Woggle.  The National Joey Scout Woggle is a tan coloured cloth woggle with the World Scout Badge and the words "Joey Scout" in white embroidered upon it.  Click the Link below to find out about the Uniform on the National Scout's web site.

Ceremonies

There is a simple standard for the opening, closing, welcoming and going up ceremony. The opening and closing ceremonies can vary, but there are core elements that must be included: The Leader breaks the flag for the opening ceremony, the Joey Scout may salute when the flag is broken, the Joey Scout theme "help other people" will be spoken and the Leader lowers the flag for the closing ceremony and a short prayer of thanks is used. For the going up ceremony see the Cub Scout Section.
