Rovers
Ages 18-26
Rovers run their own programme, and become part of a National and International whānau of people committed to bettering themselves and their communities…
As a Rover you will:
- Experience and lead challenging adventures with others.
- Develop a wide range of skills including leadership, event and project management, and all sorts of general life skills, such as budgeting, self reliance, and correct axe throwing technique.
- Become an active member of your local, national, and international communities.
- Attend Regional, National, and International Rover Events, like Moot, Barndance, Mudbash, Mini-Moot, and World Moot.
The Rover section is about determining your own way to develop yourself and those around you with support and encouragement from others. Throughout your time in Rovers you’ll meet some incredible people, participate in, assist with, and lead all sorts of activities, and develop skills for life. You might go on a canyoning trip, lead a personal finance session for your crew, or organise a year long river clean-up project in your local community. The only limit is your imagination.
Every Easter a small team of Rovers runs Moot, our pinnacle National event, where 200+ Rovers from across NZ and the world come together for a weekend of whakawhanaungatanga (community building) and celebration.
The Rover promise is:
On my honour, I promise to do my best,
To develop my spiritual beliefs,
To contribute to my community, country and world,
To help other people,
And to live by the Scout Law.
Te kī Taurangi Scout (Our Scout Promise)
E mana ai taku kī taurangi, kia pukumahi te mahi,
Kia tau te whakapono-ā-wairua,
Kia ihu oneone ki te hapori, ki te whenua tupu, ki te ao
Kia manaakitia tangata kē atu,
Kia ū ki tā te ture i kī mai ai.
