There is an on-line petition to allow Rovers to modify their uniform to allow us to wear traditional Rover trappings.  It is well worth looking at and if you so feel, sign.  http://www.petitiononline.com/rsunifop/

It may seem inconsiquential that someone would want to wear boards on their epelets or to have other traditional trappings onthe uniform, but to an organization that has traditional root, it is a small way of keeping us tied to our founder BP and his ideals as well as help us standf out in the crowd of uniforms as unique.

Yours in Rovering

A Rover Scout is a youth member 18-26 in Scouts Canada. The Program is run by the youth and typically service based.  A Rover program may contain elements of high adventure, community service, Service to Scouting and Service to self through self development.  The advisor is there to offer advice, sometimes guidance, ideas , resources and even an ear should it be needed. The actual program is designed and run by the crew. Typically found in large urban areas although the KOTCC are trying to appeal to the rural rover to build the crew through use of internet meetings, mailing lists and face to face meetings as well.

If you are interested in learning more about Rovers or the KOTCC feel free to send me an email to “advisor at kotcc.org”
