Highfields Cubs, Joeys & Scouts

13/07/2026

What a great way to end the school holidays, 2 of our Joeys spent Sunday morning leading a group of youth and adults on a 7km hike along Glen Lomond Bridle Trail and Hell Hole Track in the culmination of their Joey Section Peak Award.
Soon they will be making their way up to the Cubs section where they can continue their Scouting journey with even bigger challenges.

Yesterday we finished up an awesome term taking the joeys and cubs out to Cressbrook dam for a hiking/paddling morning off fun. Some small frustrations like learning how to paddle forward and backwards as well as work out the optimal angle for maximum splashing makes for more resilient young people in our community. For some even getting into the canoe safely was a challenge.
Scouting has been proven to make children (and adults) more resilient.
We have space at Highfields scouts for more young people aged 5-25 in term 2. Message us for details.

So many benefits for our young people in scouting!
So many benefits for adults in scouting too!
We are preparing for 2026. If you are curious about scouting in Highfields, please send us a message to come for a trial.

How often are Scouts shown simply as children and young people hiking? 🏕️
But how often do we see the countless volunteer hours behind every trip, meal, activity, and permit?

Scouting is like an iceberg. What’s visible is the adventure, the badges, the scarves, the smiles. What stays hidden is far greater: the dedication of volunteers and Scout leaders, teamwork and collaboration, conflict resolution, planning, training, and a strong educational method.

To the world, we wear our uniforms and enjoy the journey. Beneath the surface lie the skills, values, and commitment that make it all possible. They may not always be seen, but they are always there.
