South Metropolitan Joey Region Campfire

The Joey Region Campfire is a great opportunity to come together as a Region and share songs and skits with other Joeys and hopefully learn a new song or two.

Each Joey Unit will share a song or skit on the night and leaders are asked to nominate their song and or skit prior to the campfire night. Make sure that you practice before you arrive so that you can teach your song to others that may not know it.

What to wear / bring?

• Joey shirt and scarf
• Enclosed shoes (no crocs)
• Warm clothing as we will be outside
• Something to sit on (picnic rug or cushion, as we are sitting on natural steps)
• Headtorch
• Water bottle
• Snacks
• Wet weather jacket (if needed)

Eligibility & Cost

To attend the Joey Region Campfire, your Joey must be registered with Scouts NSW.  Only if needed, a maximum of one parent can attend per youth member so that we can have as many spaces as possible available for the Joeys. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept Joey’s siblings at this event.

Cost:

• $5.00 per Joey
• $5.00 per Parent
• $5.00 per Leader

Food

There is no food supplied at this event and Joeys are encouraged to eat dinner prior to arriving. If your Joey would like to bring a snack for themselves to the event, they are more than welcome to do so. Remember to take your rubbish rappers home so that we can keep our environment clean and tidy.

Parking & Entry

On street parking is available on Freemans Road, Heathcote. Please drive slowly as this is a residential area and Joey Scouts will be moving around as they enter this event. Participants are asked to enter via the main gate. There will be signs posed to guide you to the check in desk. All participants must check in prior to making your way down to the campfire circle.

Payments

All applications, payments, and e-permissions must be received before the closing date.  Any application not finalised before the closing date will be cancelled.

General Health

If you are unwell or are showing symptoms of a viral disease, we ask that you stay home, self-isolate and look after yourselves.

Refunds
Refunds for people who withdraw before the application close date will incur a $2.50 fee. Any refund requests after the closing date will result in no refund unless there are documented exceptional circumstances (minus the $2.50 fee).  If a youth member is sent home from the event for any reason, no refund will be given.

Event Postponement

If the activity cannot proceed due to weather conditions, leaders will be notified on the Friday evening prior to the event via email and a general post will be made on the South Metropolitan Region Scouts Facebook page. Leaders will be responsible to advising participants of the event postponement.

We hope to see as many of you at this event as possible and can’t wait to make Scouting memories together.
