NSW Rovers is about offering endless opportunities to all it's members. We take great pride in being able to offer the Rover Section and are continously refining exisiting ideas as well as creating some new and exciting concepts for all of our members.
Scouting in NSW is devided into 10 areas or "Regions". Every Region has at least one Rover Crew with some regions operating a modified program due to living in Rural or Country areas. For people who live nowhere near a Rover Crew, NSW Lones offers the chance to still experience the opportunities that we have...
Many regions operate a Region Rover Council (RRC) which is a meeting of all the crews in the area to discuss what each crew has been up to, share ideas and deal with local issues affecting the Rover Section. The RRC is responsible for everything that happens within the Region, as well as passing Information between the Crews and the Branch Rover Council(BRC).
The Branch Rover Council is made up of all 10 Regions plus NSW Lones. It also has an elected executive that is appointed for either one or two years. The BRC is responsible for deliveriving the Rover Program at a state level within NSW. It organises several events and initatives that allow Rovers to get out there and have fun. It also handles the administritave side of Rovers and works closly with the NSW State Office to ensure that all Rovers can take part at every opportunity.
The BRC also has a number of sub-committees that deliver different opportunities. With the 17th Australian Rover Moot (A Moot is a large camp or gathering, and AussieMoot as it is better known is a national two week camp at Sydney Olympic Park.) around the corner in January, We have groups of people working on the Moot Itself, The Moot Bar and The Contingent from NSW who will be attending. We also have a Rover Scout Motorsports (RSM) Group who organise a number of motorsport-based activities and training workshops each year. The Rovers also have thier own fundraiser, known as the Rover Wine Project where we pick, create and sell our own wine from Bishops Grove, one of the award winning winneries in the Hunter Valley.
A number of new initiatives are in the pipeline for NSW and will be revealed at Branch Rover Council Meetings. We also encourage any Rover who has a great idea to tell the world and share around the endless opportunities of NSW Rovers.
