Rovers are for males and females aged between 18 and 26. It is the last stage of their scouting Journey. Rovers have no set meeting days or times. It is a network encompassing 450 Scout Groups, as well as many Universities and IT’s around the country offering exciting opportunities whether you’re into rock-climbing, kayaking, or something more obscure. You’ll always find someone to share your interests and introduce you to try new things. Of course, there is a social element too, time spent with friends, new and old, and sharing stories is time well spent.
It’s more than just a social club though. For many, school is over and real life is about to begin, some are already in the thick of it. College, jobs, money, and relationships are all a part of life. This is the time of life when we need to build our experiences, make our mistakes and enjoy life. So when you and your mates organise a trip to Switzerland, attend any of the national or international events for Rovers, or use your time to help out your community, you’re gaining vital skills which will help you out in later life – Rover Scouts helps you harness this.
There is still loads to do and still huge potential for you as a Rover to continue in a way that best includes what you want out of Scouting, so don’t be afraid to get involved.
