Rover Scout

Rovers or Rovering is a programme associated with some Scout organizations for young adults, originated by The Boy Scouts Association in the United Kingdom. The programme was launched in 1918 for young men who were too old to be Boy Scouts. It was adopted by some other Scout organisations. The educational objective of Rovers is typically focused on teaching young adults how to navigate their newfound maturity. A group of Rovers is called a 'Rover Crew'.

Many Scout organisations, including, since 1966, The Scout Association in the UK, no longer include a Rover programme and some have replaced it with other programmes with modified Baden-Powell Award schemes.
