Rover Scouts provides a support network for young adults while they encounter many of the challenges of young adult life such as studying, seeking and securing employment, managing relationships, and balancing all this with their other hobbies & interests. Rovering provides an opportunity for many young people to put their lives into perspective. It helps them to develop a vision of where they want to be and what they want to do in the future. It teaches the vital lesson that to succeed, first you must try and then try again; that there is no such thing as failure, only attempts before accomplishment. This attitude is inspired through the Rover program and the Baden-Powell Scout Award scheme which empowers young adults to challenge themselves in the four different areas of growth & development: Physical, Mental, Social and Spiritual.

However, most importantly Rovers provides a means for young adults to HAVE FUN! Let’s face it, Rovers are of the age where suddenly they are not adolescents any more, school is over and it’s time to grow up and face life. Rovers provide the avenue where young adults can forget the pressures of day to day life and escape to enjoy themselves. It provides the perfect opportunity to have a bit of fun and not be put down or criticised for it (by fellow Rovers anyway). Every now and then, everyone needs to remember to be young & reenact it!
