20221029-30 Hume Region Joey Mob Holiday

The Joey mob Holiday is in a bushland environment, so appropriate clothing and hats must be worn to protect from the sun and enclosed shoes with socks (above the ankle) should also be worn at all times to prevent injury and minimise risk of insect bites.  See attached suggested camping gear list.
 
Each Joey must have an adult stay with them for the entire camp (this is part of the Scout Australia rules for Joeys).  It is expected that the parent/carer participates in the Joey Scout activities with their Joey - trust us, it's a lot of fun!!
 
**ALL PARENTS or CARERS ATTENDING MUST HOLD CURRENT SCOUT REGISTERED A2 ADULT HELPER STATUS -
A WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK IS A PREREQUISITE**

 
You will be placed into patrols and will rotate around the camp site with many adventures to be had!  On Saturday night there is a dress-up parade for Joeys and their parents with a prize awarded to the most creative outfit (please don't go to too much expense, anything you have around the house will be fine).  The theme this year is "Camp Creepy" - think Halloween.  After dinner, there will also be a traditional Scout campfire, so make sure you bring your camp blanket or something warm to wrap up in.

NB:  There will be other camp blanket badges for sale at $2 each - please bring cash for payment.
 
Camping in tents is strongly encouraged.  For those parents and Joey's camping, you may arrive at the camp at 1pm, to allow adequate time to set up your tent.  Preference is for a small tent but, if you only have a large family tent, or do not have a tent - please discuss with your Leader in case one is available for loan from your Scout Group.  For those with exceptional circumstances who are unable to stay in a tent, you will be provided with dormitory style bunk bed accommodation with other families.
