What Happens at Joey Jaunt

Each Joey Scout unit that comes sets up and runs an activity base, so the day is full of different things to try. Joey Scouts get a passport card and collect a stamp or sticker at each base they visit. Past Jaunts have included crafts, obstacle courses, low ropes, archery and rope bridges. Each year has a theme: 2024’s was “Elements”, with activities about water, fire, wind and earth.

Parents come along too, and units ask parents to help run their base so leaders can take the Joey Scouts around.

Cost and Registration

Your Joey Scout Leader registers Bardon Joey Scouts, and will let you know the date, cost and what to bring once Scouts Queensland announces them.
