Welcome to Joy Scouts HQ

Life's too short to be beige.

We're Polly & Dude, and we're on a mission to scout out joy, celebrate the good stuff, and share the little things that make life brighter. From wonderful places and creative adventures to acts of kindness, belly laughs and unexpected moments of magic, this is a home for curious souls who want a little more wonder in their world.

Because joy isn't something you find once you've got everything figured out. It's often hiding in plain sight, waiting to be noticed.

So grab your badge, join the quest, and become a professional noticer of the good stuff.

Adventure starts here.

"Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it."

The Joy Scouts: How you can get involved!

Community is at the heart of all I wish to do with the Joy Scouts. I have been exceptionally lucky to have had my little shop and subsequently was ingratiated in a strong community in Margate but I am acutely aware of how hard that can be for some to find. We have, as a nation, become very insular in recent years for various reasons, finding it harder than ever to find our kindred spirits and connect. I hope to be able to ease this process for us all.

Whilst in the planning phases for the Joyage I wish to galvanise local communities into sharing their top hits for happy places to visit but also unite such joy seekers by hosting in person and online events. Having suffered myself with severe social anxiety for a few years (it is something we manage and never conquer, I feel) I wish to make these events active and playful, with games or inspiring speakers, creating a safe space for us to flourish, rather than awkwardly shuffling about feeling shy!

I opened up a subscription group called the ‘Joy Scouts’ in the November 2024 ~ a veritable troop of merry souls who wish to spread a little happiness throughout their community and connect with others. As I travel around the U.K. I will be hosting in person ‘Buddy Clubs’ where we will gather and make new acquaintances in a fun and friendly environment. If you would like to be informed of these events (including online meet-ups) and indeed be the first to know about the re-opening of the subscription group, then please sign up to the mailing list below. It would be a privilege to have you on board this journey with me.

And if you wish to support this crazy journey I am about to embark on by buying me a ko-fi then I will be forever greatful! I have a lot of equipment to buy and renovations to do to the van as well as pay my dear pal back for Nova van over the next 12 months! So all donations are dearly appreciated from the bottom of my heart! They will be rewarded I assure you!

Or, alternatively, if you wish to support in another way, why not book a night to stay in Big Bit Margate my super silly and playful BnB!

Fun for all and all for fun!

Fancy a daily dose of dopamine?!

With the world spinning all wonkydonk the one thing we can try to help is our happiness levels.

I have set myself a joyful challenge to find & share a little happy moment and share it with you for 100 days.

I hope it will inspire others to seek out the silly & find the fun in every day.
