Our motto is 'SERVICE'.....
DO SERVICE FOR THOSE WANT SERVICE......... It was quickly adopted by the national Scouting organisations around the world.
Rovering provides enjoyable activities that combine personal development with meaningful service. A Rover Crew governs itself, but often has an older adult as a "Crew Advisor" or "Rover Scout Leader". The founder of Rovering, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, called it a “brotherhood of open air and service”. Rovering is the jolly journey of young people from adolescence to successful and responsible adult
hood in the principles of service to God, country and his fellowmen. The objectives of Rovering are to:
Provide service to the Scout Movement
Provide service to the community
Develop as individuals by expanding one's range of skills
Enjoy fellowship, social, outdoor, and cultural activities
Rovering provides an experience that leads to a life enriched in the following ways:
Character and Intelligence
Handicraft and Skill
Health and Strength
Service for Others
Citizenship
Each of these elements, from character through service, finds expression in the crew's activities.

Rover Scouting is a service division of Scouting for young men, and in most countries, women. A group of Rovers, analogous to a Scout troop, is called a 'Crew.'
The section was started in 1918, following the successful growth of the Scout Movement, and was intended to provide a Scouting programme for young men who had grown up beyond the age range of the core Scout section. Since Rover Scouting began, it has undergone many changes. Some national Scouting organisations no longer include a Rovering programme, but have replaced it with other programmes. In many of these countries, there are alternative Scouting organisations who maintain the original programme.
