Achievement Pathways
Achievement Pathways fit within the one journey model of Scouting - a framework featuring a continuous series of personal achievements across the whole program, from the beginning of the Joey Scout Section through to the end of the Rover Scout Section. Providing Scouts the opportunity to determine their own Scouting journey for their own personal development.
Imagine the whole Achievement Pathways as a journey across a mountain range. Each Section of the program explores new and more challenging opportunities for achievement across the mountain range.
Every two years, Joey Scouts have the opportunity to attend a Kangaree, a massive overnight sleepover with activities and entertainment with hundreds of Joey Scouts from all over the State.
