Rovers are the senior branch of Outdoor Service Guides, intended for adults (18+) of all genders. There is no upper age limit. Rovers are organized into self-governing Crews as part of an overall Scout Group. The Rover motto is simply “Service,” and it is put into practice both in the Group and the community. All OSG section leaders are required to be registered as Rovers to provide them with a more solid background in Scouting.
