Joey Scout Awarded Highest Honour

Mackay City Central Joey Scout Harrison Doyle was recently presented with the highest award for the Joey Scout Section, the Joey Scout Challenge Award, at an All Section Camp on a property at Gargett.

Harrison joined scouting in May 2021 and has learnt a lot over the last few years, from learning to fish and building his own garden bed to creating art and trying meditation.

He has earned many Special Interest badges including Adventure & Sport – Fishing; Arts & Literature – Creative Art Techniques; Creating a Better World – Responsible Pet Ownership; Environment – Native Gardening; Growth & Development; and STEM & Innovation – Solar System Model.

While a Joey Scout, Harrison also organised and participated in an Adventurous Journey, where he took other Mackay City Central Joey Scouts to the Botanical Gardens for a bushwalk.

The group went bird watching, learned how to identify various plants and trees found at the Botanical Gardens and tested their orienteering skills.  

A special cake was cut and served to celebrate the special occasion.
