I will always remember the helpful guidance I received from my Skipper, and the fine comradeship I enjoyed with my fellow Rovers. I don’t believe I ever thanked Skipper for all he did for me during the six years I was a member of the Crew. They were very happy days, full of activity with good companions helping each other out when the going got rough. In retrospect, it seems strange that we got on so well. On the surface Skipper and I appeared to have so little in common. Without being disagreeable, we disagreed about many things. Our religious beliefs were different. Our political inclinations were not the same. Our attitudes towards smoking, drinking, leisure and nearly every aspect of everyday living were often in conflict. My companions in the Crew were a strange mixture. Amongst ourselves our ideals seemed as far apart as the poles, and our ideas of what the world had in store for us never agreed. Somehow, this diversified group accomplished much in terms of Good Turns and brotherhood and open air life. I remember the men who were once young men in that Crew, and the success they have now attained in their lives. What a marvellous influence our Skipper exerted upon us! Never once did he tell us we were on the wrong trail, but by his quiet example and sincere personal beliefs he encouraged us to solve our own problems and ‘paddle our own canoes’. On Good Turns and on rambles his philosophy of living was gradually imparted to each one of us, and our youthful radicalism was tempered and altered without attempting to destroy our individuality. I think it is fair to state that from our Crew emerged a group of happy, healthy, useful citizens. To such men as Skipper, we owe a dept of gratitude for the production of this handbook. Former Rover Scouts and Rover Scout Leaders, as well as men and young men presently engaged in Rover Scouting have contributed to its production. I sincerely hope that Rover Scouts yet to come will benefit from what this book has to offer, and the Rover Scout Leaders will find it helpful in the leadership of their Rover Crews. G.G.

Quest No. 1 — Purpose The Aim | Rover Scouting has as its aim good citizenship through the development of individual character. This is accomplished by: — 1. Training young men in habits of observation, obedience, and self- reliance in the school of woodcraft. 2. Impressing loyalty and thoughtfulness for others by instruction and by giving service to others. 3. Teaching young men services useful to the public and handicrafts useful to themselves. 4. Developing mental and physical powers of the individual through wholesome social contacts and activities. 5. Leading the individual to develop spiritual and social values by example and association. The aim is common to all three Sections of the Boy Scout Movement. While the aim may be the same it is important to keep in mind that the methods employed to attain this aim are progressive. The Wolf Cub Pack trains the child to become a boy with desirable character traits. The Boy Scout Troop develops these character traits in a boy as he advances to young manhood. The Rover Scout Crew has as its aim the further development of good character in the young man to enable him to become a mature adult, a good citizen; one whom we would be pleased to call a friend and neighbour. The home, the church, and the school are the three basic pillars of our society. What is done in Rover Scouting complements the influence of these agencies. Quest No. 2 — Rovering What is Rover Scouting? | In very clear terms, Baden-Powell has given an “Explanation of Scouting” in the first few pages of his book Scouting for Boys. This explanation should be read in conjunction with the following. Rover Scouting is a “continuation” of the training that is given to Wolf Cubs and Boy Scouts with good citizenship as the final goal. Rover Scouting covers the period during which a young man is “finding himself” — that is, he is developing his character by putting into practice in a wider world the principles of the Scout Law and Promise. It is of the utmost importance to remember that the main and immediate aim of Rover Scouting is to provide a further period of “Training” for young men. 7 THE CREW SCOUTER’S HANDBOOK If we are looking for a specific programme of badges, tests, and activities to tell us how to do Rovering we will seek in vain. Unlike Cubbing and Scouting, Rovering is not a programme. There is no programme for the Rover Crew, but there is a programme for each Rover Scout. Every member of the Crew may have different interests and Rover Scouting endeavours to develop these. It follows that each Rover will have to set his own programme to suit his own needs. However, we can help each to seek and aspire to make the best use of his talents. Thus, the individual embarks upon a series of Quests designed to help him “find himself”. Why, then, are there Rover Crews if the individuals in the Crew cannot follow a common programme? Rover Scouting was described by Baden-Powell as a “brotherhood of the open air and service”. Brotherhood, open air activity, and service are the common meeting grounds.

  • To Our Rover Scouts English Section
    To Our Rover Scouts English Section By Nguyen Van Thuat 2006 Foreword On The 2nd Edition The booklet “To All Vietnamese Rovers” was first published in 1993 and in 13 years there have been many changes in our lives as well as in our Scouting activities. However, formal regulations have not been put in place for Vietnamese Scouting due to the simple fact that the Scout Association of Vietnam has not been officially re-established. Of course all overseas Vietnamese Scout units need to comply with the regulations of the National Scout Association with which they are registered for membership and activities. In updating information on Rovering activities, this edition of “To All Vietnamese Rovers” has been revised to help Rovers respond to their present needs. This edition can also be regarded as a special contribution as well as a greeting from the author to the upcoming Jamboree Thang Tien 8, which will be held in California, USA from July 8 to July 14, 2006. What I’m hoping to achieve, through this booklet, is to provide you with the main features of the Rover Section and its activities, which may be useful and applicable to overseas Vietnamese Rover Crews. The author wishes to thank Reverend Tien Loc, who was Commissioner for Rovers, the Scout Association of Vietnam before May 1975 for his provision of supplementary details when the booklet was reprinted by the “Rover Section Library” in Vietnam in 2004. For this second edition I have received considerable help and support from the following: • Scouters Le Ngoc Buu (Vietnam), Patricia Styles

MAY / JUNE 2012 1 Editorial Well, one or two people came to my rescue and sent in some longer articles - in fact I ended up with so much material that two of the new articles have had to start in this issue and continue in the July/August one. But, hopefully, this does give you all something more to look forward to. With the previous issue of the Bulletin you will have had the latest auction booklet and I really hope that you are all trying to place bids for items that you would like in your collection, especially as this helps the Club with its income. I know that many of you are “computer literate” (as they say) and with this in mind I was wondering whether members would like to receive their copies of The Bulletin by e-mail instead of the hard copy. This would have the double advantage of giving the recipient a copy in full colour and also saving the Club the financial cost of printing and posting out each issue. Several other Clubs that I am a member of have already moved down this route with some success. I will put something together formally for the next issue but if you have any initial thoughts please send them in. Meanwhile I look forward to receiving some more articles - long or short - from as many of you as possible in due course.
