Rovers are to
use the Rover Progress Scheme as a guide
to help them achieve Scouting’s highest
award, the Baden Powell Award. The Rover
Progress Scheme is divided into 4 tiers
which are in parallel with the NYAA
(GOLD) and Scout of the World Award.
Tier
1: Explorer- Finding your way
This represents a stepping stone for
Rovers into the Rovering journey. It can
be achieved within 6 months in Rovering.
This Tier covers basic Scouting skills,
personal aspiration, first aid and the
most important the reflection and
investiture. Rovers are required to go
through a self reflection session before
they go through the investiture and step
into the Rovering family.
Tier
2: Voyager –
Journeying along the path
This
represents continuity of the path
chosen. During this tier, Rovers are to
undergo services to others and embark on
short expeditions. At this tier, Rovers
are introduced to the Scout of the World
Discovery. Rovers not aspiring to be
leaders could still follow this path as
there is greater emphasis on self
development and support at this tier.
Tier
3: PathFinder- Leading the way
This
represent the leadership within Rovering.
Rovers are required to take up the
leadership role within their unit and
help out in organising and planning
Scout event above their unit level.
Within this Tier, Rovers are required to
complete their Scouting skills
requirements where they should have a
basic knowledge about Scouting.
Tier
4: Baden Powell Award- The Final Steps
Baden Powell founded
Scouting and naming the award after him
makes the award prestigious . Rovers
going through this test should have
covered all Scouting Principles, Methods
and Values that Baden Powell have
implemented. Only candidates who have
exceptional qualities and dedication can
qualify. Objective criteria, good peer
review and commissioner’s recognition of
the outstanding individual are some of
the criteria the candidate needs to
fulfill. This is highest award possible
as a Rover.
Rovers taking the
Progress Scheme can do their departure
from early if they feel that they have
completed their Rovering path.
The National Rover
Council (NRC) was set up to provide a
platform for discussion of Rovering
Programme as well as to solicit feedback
and reviews from the Rovers around
Singapore so that it can provide
executive leadership on Rovering affairs
in Singapore
