Rovers

For scouts 18 and older

Rovers are the senior branch of OSG scouting, intended for adults (18+) of all genders. As Robert Baden-Powell originally intended, there is no upper age limit, so anyone 18+ may join. Rovers are organized into self-governing crews as part of an overall scout group, either one that is based locally in the Rover’s hometown, or the nationwide 1st Lone Scouts group under the direction of Scott Moore. The Rover motto is simply “Service,” and it is put into practice both in the group and the community. All scout leaders are required to be registered as Rovers to provide them with a more solid background in Scouting.

All Rovers undergo an annual independent federal background check. Any adult who wishes to volunteer with the group, but not join as a leader/Rover, must also undergo a background check.

Uniforms

The uniform shirt is a olive or forest green (preferred), long-sleeved, button-down shirt. It has a collar, pockets, and usually epaulets (shoulder straps), and tabs to hold sleeves in a rolled up position. It’s a shirt that will protect you from the sun, brambles, and bugs. The button-front and sleeve rolling tab make it a convertable layer of clothing to keep you warmer or cooler at different parts of the day or year.
