Joey Scouts is the section of Scouts Australia for boys and girls aged 5 to 7 (inclusive), often known simply as 'Joeys'. The Joey Scout section is the first age section in the Australian Scout Movement and comes before Cub Scouts. Joey Scouts wear a uniform shirt with navy blue panels, and tawny shoulders. Their motto is now "Discover Adventure". Patrol organisation The Joey Scout Unit is usually composed of several adult leaders, and several patrols of approximately six children. The leader of a patrol is called a Patrol Leader, an older Joey Scout in the unit. Second in command of a patrol is an Assistant Patrol Leader. However, they are usually patrol leaders in title only, as Joey Scouts take on very little of the leadership compared to later sections. Each patrol wears a distinctive colour band on their scarf, choosing from red, yellow, green, orange, blue, black, white, grey, tan, and purple. Unit councils The Unit Council is an informal meeting of Adult Leaders and the Patrol Leaders, and often Assistant Patrol Leaders (although any member of the patrol can be invited), to discuss things such as what activities or camps were liked or disliked during the term, and what the patrols would like to try in the future. At this age, the adult leaders do most of the planning and running of activities, but they still get Joey Scouts involved to introduce them to these concepts. Ideals Joey Scouts share their Promise and Law with the other four sections in the movement. Scout Promise There are two version of the Promise. The new one (first), and the original (second). Each member may choose which one they would like to make when joining. On my honour, I promise To do my best, To be true to my spiritual beliefs, To contribute to my community and our world, To help other people, And to live by the Scout Law. or On my honour I promise that I will do my best To do my duty to my God, and To the King of Australia, To help other people, And to live by the Scout Law. Scout Law Although Joey Scouts still use the same Scout Law, due to their age, they usually just focus on the three headings. Be Respectful: Be friendly and considerate Care for others and the environment Do What is Right: Be trustworthy, honest and fair
