1st Werribee Scout Group

At 1st Werribee, Joey Scouts commence at 5 years of age and transition to the Cub Scout Section after turning 8 and before turning 9 years of age. Joey Scouts are discovering the world around them, developing friendships, experiencing greater interactive experiences, being physically active, using broad imagination and play. This is the first Section of the Scouting journey. For our youngest members, 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. A Joey Scout can even decide if they would like to achieve their Section's 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 overnight sleepover with activities and entertainment with hundreds of Joey Scouts from all over the State.

Unit Council is the leadership structure of the Joey Scout Unit. Unit Council consists of Patrol Leaders and Adult Leaders.

1st Werribee Joey Scouts meet on Monday (6:00 pm - 7:00 pm) at 1st Werribee Scout Hall.

The motto of the Joey Scout Section is Discover Adventure.
