Rovers is different to Venturers, just as Venturers is different to Scouts. The biggest difference you'll find in Rovering, is that Rovers run the show themselves. Rather the crew appoints a rover as Crew Leader each year. And nor does the Rover Commissioner run Rovers in Tasmania. Again rovers themselves run Rovering across the state, with an elected rover as Chairman guiding the Rover Council, made up of representatives of all crews across the state.
Rovers is about leadership, giving members the challenge to lead in real world situations.
Rovers are often looked to by the other sections to help guide and assist. Venturers will have seen Rovers in action many times as state events such Venturer Initiative Courses, State Ventures, you may have even been picked up by Rover Security late on a Sunday night at a Regatta Many of you have had Rovers as your leaders in Venturers, Scouts or Cubs. These are only some of the ways Rovers assist the Scouting movement. Scouting that Rovers assist - it's also the community as a whole. But all this work and no play would make Rovers dull boys and girls, and we can assure you this definitely isn't the case.
