Address Queensland Scout Centre Phone (07) 3870 7000 32 Dixon Street Email [email protected] AUCHENFLOWER Q. 4066 Website www.qldrovers.org.au Facebook facebook.com/qldrovers Twitter twitter.com/qldrovers WELCOME TO ROVER SCOUTS On behalf of Queensland Rovers, we would like to welcome you to the Section. Our motto is Beyond the Horizon, with a focus on providing you the opportunities to challenge and develop yourself as an adult. Let us assure you, by becoming a Rover Scout you will be embarking on one of the most rewarding and valuable journeys you are likely to experience. Rover Scouts are self-governing and plan and run all their own activities – which are tailored to the requirements and interests of members. Rover Scouts enjoy helping others, having a great time and taking on new challenges. Social activities such as balls, bush dances, harbour cruises, nights out, car rallies and “Moots” (gatherings of Rovers on a local, national, and sometimes international level) will feature on an active Rover Scout’s program. Action is at the core of all Rover Scout activities. And it is your choice what you do whether it is kayaking, canyoning, hiking, camping in the snow or even planning an international expedition. There are heaps of international travel experiences for Rover Scouts to become involved in, with contingents leaving Australia every year to Scouting events across the globe, in addition to the individual travel opportunities that are also available. Regardless of whether this is the first time you’ve taken your Promise and Law, or if you are a seasoned Scouter joining us from Venturer Scouts, your time in Rover Scouts will present you with countless opportunities to experience fun and adventure.

  • 15Th World Scout Moot Iceland
    Out & About Number 40 Zoo Moot or BUST! One of the challenges facing both Venturer and Rover Scouts today is arranging the rides they need for traveling to activities. For many ensuring that everyone can get to the moot or canoe trip is as major a stumbling block as last minute school assignments. Companies and crews in Toronto can face 3 or more hours one way to events they want to attend. Convincing parents to make the drive sometimes is impossible. Our company has attended Zoo Moot at Camp Samac in Oshawa for a number of years. This year I challenged them to arrive by public transit. In the end it took a little more to convince the parents that this was possible then the actual Venturer and Rover Scouts. When Friday, November 13th arrived, the youth members met at the GO Transit Station next to the Finch subway station in the north end of Toronto and took the GO Bus to the Oshawa campus of the University Of Ontario Institute Of Technology. From the campus it was a short hike to the camp. Challenge completed, the fun began! This year’s Zoo Moot had a definite pre-historic theme, from the costumes worn by the moot staff at opening to the events themselves. Last year we were lucky enough to win two events, one of which netted us a box of Mr. Noodle’s instant noodles, which we kept until this year’s camp. I don’t think anyone checked the expiry date, but then they fitted in with the pre-historic theme.

For 2017 we have decided to focus on the Group. The Scout Group is the basis of all Scouting. We called on the experts – a diverse group of Group Leaders – to define the aims of a 12-month program focussing on Groups. Their aims for 2017 include: • For every Group in Victoria to have a dedicated Group Leader (and many Assistant Group Leader) • For Groups to be like happy families, each with its own Group culture • Systems that make it easier to run Scout Groups • Positive lasting change – for the benefits of The Year of The Group to extend well beyond 2017 They have many ideas for 2017, including events for Group Leaders (personal development, networking and fun!), Group events, and a drive to attract more Leaders and Adult Helpers to share the load. They see a Group as an extended family. A Group includes the Leader Team, the five Sections, the Group Support Committee, and all the families that belong to the Group.
