Our Joeys meet at our hall on Wednesday afternoons

between the hours of 4:30 - 5:30pm 

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.

What are the fundamental aims for a Joey Mob?

Typical Activities

Joeys are the babies of the scouting family and as such they are looked after in a manner that one would expect. At 1st East Ryde, our Joeys typical weekly meeting is divided into 3 - 4 different activities in no particular order.

• Stories
  Our Leaders will tell stories about Baden Powell (the founder of the scouting movement) and the interesting life he had. Aboriginal stories and stories about our wonderful country Australia

• Games
  There are literally hundreds of different games our Leaders know and teach our children to play. Some have a scouting connection that actually teaches while they are played while others are simply for fun .

• Art & Craft
  Joeys often sit around a table and do various sorts of craft usually related to an Australia theme. They might make an Australian native animal out of assorted craft material or do some colouring in.

• Community Services
  Although they are young, along with our Leaders our Joeys may march at our local Memorial March on Anzac day or participate in 'Clean up Australia Day'.
