Are you an adult who would love to develop a range of new or outdoor skills and wonders why the kids get all the opportunities?
For those willing to explore their full potential through outdoor challenge, new projects and getting involved in their community, Rover Scouting offers a safe and supportive group of friends with whom to explore, in a practical way, the answers to some of life’s fundamental questions, build confidence, learn new skills and get a bit fitter.
You don’t need to have any experience or be particularly fit, just have a positive attitude to try new things and enjoy the company of others. So read on and think how you might gain from giving it a try.
Rover Scouts is the B-PSA section for the over 18 year olds. There is no upper age limit for Rover Scouts and both genders are admitted.
Rover Scouts officially began in September 1918 after Scouts returning from the war wanted to continue Scouting.
Rover Scouting is the final stage in the system of training in the principles and practice of citizenship in which Beavering, Wolf Cubbing, Scouting and Senior Scouting each in turn plays its part; all five sections share the common aim - the development of good citizenship on the basis of the Scout Promise and the Scout Law.
The purpose of Rover Scouts is to facilitate the growth of young adults. Upon joining Rover Scouts, the individual will be guided to train themselves, in body, mind and spirit, for their place as a responsible member of the community. In keeping with this, the Rover motto is "Service".

Senior Scouts
Senior Scouts
Baden-Powell first suggested the idea of Senior Scouts in 1917 to try and prevent the leakage of older boys from the Scout Movement and you could become a Senior Scout providing you were 15½ and had gained your First Class.
However by 1917 you could not leave the Troop to become a Senior until you were 17 and by the end of 1918 the term Senior Scout was dropped and replaced by Rover Scout. It was not until 1946 that Senior Scouts was again officially recognised as the Section between Scouts and Rover Scouts.
Nowadays Seniors is for male and female youths aged 15 – 18. There motto of ‘Look Wide’ describes the sections philosophy; in which they are encouraged to actively take control of their own management and programme.
Being in Senior Scouts is a great adventure! You can make friends, have fun, do your best and be proud.
Senior Scouts meet regularly; they work hard both independently and with others to achieve a great range of goals and awards (whilst overcoming whatever life throws at them along the way!) Senior scouts build upon their skills and hobbies they developed in scouts and often have opportunities such as camping, climbing, exploring, competing, cycling, canoeing and cooking as well as much, much more.

Senior Scouts work extremely hard and have plenty of enjoyment making their way through a number of awards including the Bushman's Badge and the Venture Badge to gain their St Georges Award. Alongside this there are a great number of proficiency badges including the Rock climber, Electrician and Hiker. Senior scouts also offer opportunities to work towards the Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
