Williams Joey Scouts Promise Challenge

The Joey Scout Promise Challenge Badge
The Promise Challenge Badge is the highest achievement that a Joey Scout can attain. It is not expected that all Joey Scouts will attempt and complete this Challenge, but all are welcome to 'give it a go'. The Joey Scout Leaders will provide guidance as to whether a Joey Scout is ready for the Challenge.

Promise Challenge

The Promise Challenge is an individual badge designed for the 7 year old Joey Scout. It is the major Challenge for the Joey Scout Section and has individual elements as well as activities to do for the Mob.

The Promise Challenge has 3 components.

BP/Scouting History
Duty to God
Duty to Self/Others


William has chosen to raise money for his school, Stella Maris Catholic Primary School by riding his bike for 4 hours over the next month. He's doing this to complete the Duty to Self/Others component of the Promise Challenge.

He hopes to raise at least $100. Money raised will be given to the Principal of the School, Mr Stephen Harrison in a special presentation as part of a school assembly.

We will take photos along the way of him riding his bike, as well as of the presentation at school.

William will present his journey in the form of a large poster covering all 3 components of the challenge, to his Joey Scouts group and leaders.

A most important part of this challenge is that the work is visually the work of the Joey Scout (keeping in mind that spelling and tidiness are not critical for a 7yr old), and not something typed on a computer (or done by Mum and Dad).

This badge is generally the last Challenge Badge that they earn as a Joey Scout. It is the only Joey Scout Challenge badge that carries over to the next section -- Cubs.
