Joey Scout Promise Challenge

This Challenge is the newest Challenge in the Joey Scout Section, introduced in 2005.

The aim of this challenge is to allow the older Joey Scouts to gain a greater understanding of the Promise and Law and to learn about BP and the history of Scouting.

The challenge should reflect:
  • Duty to God
  • Duty to Self
  • Duty to Others
The existing Challenge badges are designed to be Mob participation badges whereas the Promise Challenge should reflect the maturity of the Joey Scout and their greater understanding of the Promise and Law.

This Challenge will require the Joey Scout to complete certain elements away from the Mob meeting. These will involve research and discussion with their parents and leaders as well as a presentation to their Mob on completion of the task.

BP/History
The Joey Scout will need to ask their parents for permission to use the internet or the library to find out some of the information about BP and Scouting.

Who was BP?
The Joey Scout has the choice to write about or tell the Mob about the information.

The Joey Scout needs to find out five interesting about BP and either write or tell the Mob about the information. Some things they might like to include:
  • BP's job, family, where he lived, what he was famous for, date of birth.
  • How many other sections in Scouting are there? Can they name them?
  • What is a Jamboree or Cuboree? The Joey Scout could ask Cubs and Scouts for help.
