Ned Joey's investiture

We all sat in our circle and then tried to remember the words to the Joey Scout Promise. Some of us knew it very well!  Some of us needed a little bit of help so we read the poster from our pin board -

"I promise

To do my best

To love my God

and be helpful"

We also talked about the Joey Scout Law "A Joey Scout cares, A Joey Scout shares" and remembered our Theme - HOP (Help Other People) - that one's easy as we say it at the beginning and end of each meeting!

We then passed Ned Joey around the circle and shook his left hand.

To finish our ceremony, We sang the Happy Little Joey Scout Song:

Happy Little Joey Scouts

We’re Happy Little Joey Scouts as bright as bright can be

We all enjoy our Joey Scouts come Care and Share with me

We promise all to do our best

Be Helpful as can be

We all enjoy our Joey Scouts

We really love our Joey Scouts

So come along and HOP with me!

Who is Ned Joey?

Ned Joey lives in Beechworth, North East Victoria, Australia.

Ned Joey would like to become a Joey Scout with 1st Beechworth Scouts and help promote all the exciting things that Joey Scouts get up to!

Each week he'll be going home with the Joey Scout who takes the prayer book home and he can be loved and join in any family activities.  He'll then come to Joey Scouts each Thursday and be taken home to a new family.

Ned Joey will come with us on all our Scouting activities and we'll be able to post photos of him on our blog to show you how much fun we have!

He can't wait to meet all the Beechworth Joey Scouts..  You might like to leave him a message!
