23.01.2022 Joey Scouts are aged 5-7 years. This is the first section of the Scouting journey. Joey Scouts meet each week as a Joey Scout Mob, and wear their Section’s uniform shirt, the scarf of the local Scout Group they belong to, and a woggle to hold their scarf together.... 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. Joey Scouts can also earn badges through their activities. The highest achievement in the Joey Scout section is the Promise Challenge award. 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.

09.01.2022 Cardinia District Scouts would like to introduce our new District Commissioner, Courtney Baker. Courtney came into the role after being Cardinia District Cub Scout Leader for over 4 years and also the Cub Scout Leader at Lang Lang Scout Group. He started in scouting as a youth member in Cub Scouts at Lang Lang in April 1994 where he had a khaki uniform and cub cap, receiving his yellow cord, after which he moved on to scouts. ... Courtney has also been part of the Bays Region Cub team allowing Cardinia District to gain up to date information and enable youth members to attend Statewide activities such as the Zoo day. Youth, leaders and adults wish Courtney all the best in his future endeavours with Cardinia District Scouts. We also thank Olive Elston for all her work over the past years.

09.01.2022 Learn life skills while having fun! Scouts is for boys and girls, aged from 11 to 14 years, to enjoy learning life skills and Scouting values in a safe, fun and youth-driven environment. As members work their way through the higher age groups on the Scouting pathway, they’re gradually given more responsibility for themselves and others.... The activities and badges become more challenging as well. Camping for Scouts can mean a new level of self-sufficiency, and adventures can demand a greater level of risk management. Patrol Activities are at the heart of the program. Scouts are encouraged to Plan, Do and Review activities that interest them on the way to achieving their all-important Milestone Badge. The whole activity, including cost and transport arrangements, is planned with their Patrols and presented to their Unit Council for approval. Examples might include a canoeing day, a sailing course or a geocaching adventure. Afterwards, the activity is reviewed by the Patrol. Scouting is youth-led and adult-supported. Leaders are often scratching their heads in amazement at the wonderful ideas that youth members come up with! Let’s not forget one other huge event that has all of us scratching our heads! Somehow, every three years, we pull off a minor miracle by running the Australian Scout Jamboree. Thousands of Scouts camp out together for ten days of activities, based in a purpose-built tent-city with its own newspaper and radio station. Plus there are visits from Cub Scouts and day trips away from the Jamboree site. The AJ2022 is being planned for January 2022 in Elmore, Victoria. Twelve thousand Scouts are expected to take part, plus an extra 8,000 visitors over the course of the event. This experience is a highlight for any Scout, and a huge logistical challenge for those who pull it together. Life in Scouts is never boring!

There are fun camps for Cub Scouts which could have interesting themes like ‘Space Odyssey’ or ‘Pirates on the High Seas’. Those who achieve their ‘Camp Out’ badge can join a 5-day ‘Cuboree’ with hundreds of other excited Cub Scouts at Gilwell Park, near Gembrook.... Cub Scouts play fantastic games like scavenger hunts or they might build a catapult together. They can also earn a range of badges for bushcraft, cooking, canoeing and many other skills. There’s even a ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ badge, designed with the help of Victoria Police, which involves the Cub Scouts being aware of emergency phone numbers and learning about security issues for themselves or their homes. The highest achievement in the Cub Scout section is to earn the Grey Wolf award. 1st Koo Wee Rup Scout Group Pakenham Scout Group Beaconsfield Officer Scout Group Lakeside Scout Group 1st Upper Beaconsfield Scout Group 1st Lang Lang Scout Group #cardiniascouts #scoutsvictoria
