As well as being great fun and a real adventure Rovers provides a great opportunity for young people to develop. This is achieved through the activities we do and the many leadership opportunities that present themselves.
There are many people that provide a great service to Rovers, we should recognise them as well.
The Rover Service Award is presented to recognise an individuals outstanding contibution to Rovering over a sustained period.
In some states the award is known by other names. Each Branch Rover Council has the right to use an individual additional name for the award to honour a distinguished former Leader in that Branch.
Branch Rover Councils accept the nominations for this award and also maintain Honour rolls that record the people who have been recognised for their outstanding contribution to Rovering.

The Baden-Powell Scout Award (BPSA) is the major formal award that can be achieved by Rovers and is the focus of the Award Scheme in the Rover Section. Its aim is to encourage Rovers to seek ways to widen their interests and extend their knowledge and experience beyond their current capabilities.
Participation in the Award Scheme is entirely an individual’s choice, though the benefits it provides through setting and achieving personal goals and in the esteem that comes with completing the award is a great incentive for all Rovers to undertake this.
