The program is developed by the Revers themselves based on personal and group interests. Rovers helps young adults develop their ability in interpersonal communication, life skills, outdoors expertise, problem solving, social issue awareness, and decision making. The outdoors is an essential part of the Rover program. Rovers often participate in adventurous activities like mountain climbing, white water rafting, or para-sailing. Rovers also help their local communities by running service activities such as food drives, park clean-ups, and tree plantings.
Rovers meet in a group called a crew.
Rovers develop and manage their own program under the mentorship of a respected advisor. Rovers adhere to a promise and motto. On my honour I promise that I will do my best To do my duty to God and the Queen To help other people at all times, And to carry out the spirit of the Scout Law.
