Joey Scouts Celebrate 25 Years
Joey Scouts from all over the Darling Downs Region converged in Toowoomba for a celebration 25 years in the making.
2015 sees the anniversary of the youngest section of Scouting – Joey Scouts.
2nd Toowoomba Scout Group hosted the event which saw the Joey Scouts participating in the Annual Joey Scout Olympics as well as a Joey Scout Jaunt including cooking, craft and outdoor activities.
Mr John Pugh (Taz) 2nd Toowoomba Joey Scout Leader commented that “The day was design for fun by the Darling Downs Joey Scout Leaders. We had Joeys come in from as far west as Chinchilla and far south as Warwick. The Joey Scouts get to see that there is more to Scouting than there piece of the world.”
