Celebrating the Centenary of Rovers

In 1918, Scouting in Australia was just a decade old. Australia’s young men were returning from the Great War, and young women were not yet included in the Scouting movement. In 2018, Rover Scouts come together as young people of different ethnicities, cultures and creeds, with a range of interests, skills, and abilities to make the Rover section the thriving and diverse community that it is today. The Rover Section in Australia today is run by Rovers for Rovers.

There’s a lot to celebrate about Australian Rover Scouts. The Rover Scout Section has been providing opportunities for young people in leadership, adventurous activities, service, and personal progression for generations. It’s an exciting time to trace the footsteps of our heritage, to explore the opportunities of today’s Rover Scout community, and look beyond our horizons at unexplored paths of Rover Scouts of the future.
