The National Rover Council (NRC) would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Being the season of giving, the NRC would like to present to all Rovers our gift that we have been working on the past year.

We have heard your feedback and in line with the Youth Programme 2030 Framework, we are excited to share with all of you the new Rover Journey materials!

Want to get your hands on this amazing gift? Reach out to your Area Reps or check out the link in our bio!

Background:
The Revised Rover Journey was developed by the Rover Journey Working Group (RJWG) made out of Rovers from all Areas, along with past and present NRC members. This team has worked hard since its formation after NRR + AGM 2023, conducting focus groups and seeking feedback from Ventures and Rovers to create these materials.

From outdoor challenges to meaningful community service, over 40 Young Adults from Girl Guides Singapore and Ventures and Rovers from the Singapore Scout Association came together for an exciting 2D1N adventure on 7-8 December 2024.

Day 1 was all about skill-sharing and collaboration! The Ventures and Rovers taught map reading and pioneering skills during an Outdoor Challenge around Bishan, while the Young Adults introduced the WAGGGS Leadership Mindsets, focusing on critical thinking and teamwork. The day wrapped up with a heartwarming campfire, filled with songs and newfound friendships.

Day 2 embodied the spirit of service, as participants hosted seniors from St Luke’s ElderCare Active Ageing Centre (Care) @ Bishan at SSA HQ, and visited seniors at Sree Narayana Mission Home. Through games, singalongs, and walks with the seniors, the youths shared laughter, joy, and lasting memories.

A big thank you to Sree Narayana Mission Home and St Luke’s ElderCare Active Ageing Centre (Care) @ Bishan for allowing us to connect and give back.

Our final awardee for BPA 2024 is…

Name: Aiman Johari
Crew: Black Knights Air Scout Wing (Open)

My Journey since 2020 has been a transformative experience, shaping my values and perspectives in ways I hadn’t imagined. The journey was more than meeting requirements; it was a pathway of personal growth, community connection, and self-discovery. In this journey, I am exposed to the book ‘Rovering to Success’ which covers many chapters called the “Rocks”—obstacles on the path to success that challenge us and build resilience. These Rocks reminded me to stay grounded, focus on purpose, and develop patience, each one shaping me into a stronger person.

Participating in service projects, tackling outdoor adventures, and working alongside my peers has taught me the value of teamwork and the importance of perseverance. In each experience, I discovered the deep satisfaction that comes from lifting others up and being part of a larger purpose. Whether it was learning new skills, serving my community, or sharing in the joys and challenges with my fellow Rovers, these moments became a true test of character.

Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for the friendships, mentorship, and support that have been with me throughout this journey. Rovering has given me a strong sense of responsibility to carry these values forward, not only as a Rover but as someone dedicated to making a positive impact.

Next up we have all the way from the East…

Name: Nur Ameerah
Crew: Oneida Scout Group

Rovering became a sanctuary, a way to escape the routine of everyday life and bond with friends over shared experiences that we likely wouldn’t have had if we weren’t part of this unique group. The past few years have been an emotional rollercoaster, filled with moments that will stay with me forever—whether they were joyful, sorrowful, or frustrating. The laughter, tears, and everything in between shaped me into who I am today, and I wouldn’t change a single thing. Every choice, challenge, and triumph came with invaluable lessons that I could never have learned elsewhere. The sense of growth and camaraderie that Rovering fostered is something I’ll cherish for a lifetime.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to my unit – especially my kids – and area for their unwavering support. Whether I needed advice, comfort, or just a reason to smile, they were always there. The sense of belonging and love I felt from them kept me going even during the hardest times. I know I say this often, but I truly mean it: I love you all so much, and I couldn’t have made it through without your constant encouragement and support. You’ve all made this journey unforgettable.

Our third awardee this year we have…

Name: Goh Kah Meng
Crew: Edgefield Scout Group

I am Kah Meng from Edgefield Scout Group. My Scouting Journey began ever since I was a Cub Scout and becoming a Rover Scout after Venturing just seemed like a natural progression for me to continue Scouting.

What I did not expect, however, was the new frontiers that the Rover Journey presented for me. I have had the opportunity to experience Scouting beyond what I was familiar with, and I was challenged and had my horizons expanded both as a Scout and an individual. Along the way, I have had the privilege of meeting mentors and friends who have guided and supported me, helping me navigate my growth. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities that Rovering has provided and for the encouragement that led me to achieve the BPA today.

15/11/2024

Our next awardee this year is…

Name: Leonard Ang
Crew: Beatty Beaver Scout Group

Hi, I’m Leonard Ang from Beatty Beaver in the South area, currently serving in National Service. Before this, I studied Mechanical Engineering at Singapore Polytechnic and ran competitively with the track and field team for two years. I began my Scouting journey in secondary school and continued into Rovering, drawn by my connection with my leaders and my passion for mentoring younger Scouts.
My Rovering journey has been rooted in Character Development. Through it, I’ve gained resilience, discipline, and a greater appreciation for service. As a Rover, I’ve enjoyed mentoring Scouts, sharing my knowledge, and guiding them in skills like pioneering and physical training. During track, I was the only senior experienced in the steeplechase, so I helped my juniors with techniques and training, passing down my insights from competition.
A major challenge was completing my first half marathon. The rigorous training required discipline and mental resilience, pushing me beyond my limits.
Volunteering at Willing Hearts was also meaningful, as we prepared meals and handled logistics for those in need. This experience helped me appreciate my own privileges and deepened my commitment to serving others.
Overall, Rovering has transformed my character and helped me grow both mentally and emotionally.

The Baden Powell Award (BPA) is the highest award attainable by youth members in the Singapore Scout Association. It represents a pinnacle achievement Rover Scouts work towards on their Scouting journey.

This award is named after Lord Baden Powell, who was the founder of the Scout Movement, and it is hoped that naming the Award after him will remind award recipients of their responsibility to uphold the ideals espoused by Lord Baden Powell in their thoughts, words and deeds forever more.

2024 also marks the final year the BPA will be awarded at the end of the Rover Journey. Starting 2025, the pinnacle award for Rover Scouts will be the President’s Scout Award (Rover) and the BPA will be revamped as a commendation award for youth who have made exceptional contributions or impact within their communities.

15/11/2024

Hi everyone! I am Briant, a Rover Scout from Beatty Beaver Rover Crew! My Rover Journey began after Secondary School as I wanted to step outside my comfort zone and learn new things.

It was truly an inspiring journey as it allowed me to learn many new skills during the process, some of which included knotting at an advanced level, leading my unit and forging new friendships!

Rovering has instilled a sense of transition into adulthood in a healthy manner as most of the activities organised were self initiated, allowing us to learn during the process of planning and executing them!

Yesterday marked the combined badge presentation ceremony of the Baden-Powell Award Badge for Rovers and the President’s Scout Award Badge for Ventures.

This year, 5 of our Rovers achieved the Baden-Powell Award, the pinnacle award for Rover Scouts in Singapore and an embodiment of the values and character that Baden-Powell sought for in Rover Scouts.

The ceremony also featured a Human Library segment where our awardees were there to share about their Rover Journey towards achieving the Baden-Powell Award. Our 5 awardees this year are:

⚜️Aiman Johari - Black Knights Air Scout Wing (Open)
⚜️Goh Kah Meng - Edgefield Scout Group
⚜️Nur Ameerah - East Spring Oneida Scout Group
⚜️Briant Poh - Beatty Beaver Scout Group
⚜️Leonard Ang - Beatty Beaver Scout Group

This year also marks the final year that the BPA is awarded as the pinnacle award for the Rover Scout Programme. Starting 2025, Rover Scouts will be awarded with the President’s Scout Award (Rover) to mark their achievements.

Congratulations once again to all of our awardees this year!

Last weekend, Singapore Rovers held our annual Rover Rendezvous event!

Rover Rendezvous is a yearly gathering of all our Rovers to participate in activities that reflect our key pillars of Adventure, Service, Fellowship, our modern rendition of the Rover motto of Fellowship of the Open Air and Service.

We held a combined hike with Metta School Simba Scout Group, a Special Needs Scout Unit where we brought them around Bishan Ang Mo Kio Park for a nature and outdoor appreciation walk.

Following that, our Rovers gathered for the National Rover Roundtable (NRR) and Annual General Meeting (AGM). Crew Representatives from 21 different Rover Crews came together to learn about what the various Areas have been doing for Rovers and what the National Rover Council has dine in 2024 and their plans beyond!

On the final day, our Rovers went through an Amazing Race on St John’s and Lazarus Island where they had to compete with other patrols to capture each other’s flags and gain points.

We would like to thank all of our Rovers and Ventures who participated in Rover Rendezvous 2024 and we hope to see you next year!

Last week, Singapore Rovers held our National Rover Roundtable (NRR) and Annual General Meeting (AGM) where Rovers from all around the country came together to participate in the election for the National Rover Council (NRC) Chairperson (2025-2026).

A vote-of-confidence was held and the voting period was open for one week, ending today at 1800hrs.

The voting period has closed and the NRC is happy to announce that Rover Scout Aiman Johari has successfully been elected as the NRC Chairperson (2025-2026) from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.

The delegation will come onboard for discussions with young people from various NSOs and forge new friendships that will expand their network and learning experience.

Guess who decided to Tech along…? 💻

The Singapore Scout Association (SSA) was recently invited to attend the Hong Kong International Scout Youth Forum about Modern Technology in Scouting! ⚜️

3 of our Rovers represented the SSA, they were Andrew Toh, Sio Jia En and Luke Lim. At the forum, our Rovers were split into separate groups where they each worked on a different roadmap towards the implementation of technology in Scouting!

Our Rovers created roadmaps covering modernisation of Scout Programmes and Development, Digital Citizenship in Scouting, and Communication and Administration in Scouting. These roadmaps were created with knowledge from the various input sessions held over the forum and open discussions between all the participants!

The highlight of the forum was the educational tour and international night where our Rovers got to explore Hong Kong in a new innovative way and share our culture with everyone else.

We would like to thank the organising committee of the forum for the invite and for their wonderful hospitality! 🙏🏻

Greetings Rovers,

With the recently released Annual Report by The Singapore Scout Association (SSA), I would like to take this opportunity to review what Singapore Rovers has done over the past year and to share what to expect for the rest of 2024.

Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to all the Rovers in the SSA for your active service. Be it within your Crew, Unit, Area, or the National Level, and for the brave, a combination of a few of them (maybe even all!), I am elated to see our Rover community put themselves out there and learn a thing or two through these varied experiences.

Secondly, as I browse through the Annual Report, a sense of pride for the Rovers fills me when I see familiar names either as award recipients or event-in-charge, it testifies the strength and competence of our community despite the many doubts and second guessing we have received in the past.

Lastly, I would like to draw your attention to the final slide of this post which touches on the upcoming events for the year. I would especially like to highlight Rover Rendezvous happening on 28-29 September. Our event team has been working hard to plan this event so expect the circular to come out in the next few weeks. We’re gonna make it happen this year, and it’s gonna be good.

With that, thank you for your unwavering support in 2023 and the first half of 2024, please keep a lookout for the circulars and continue Rovering to Success in your own unique way!

Yours in Scouting,
Andrew Toh
NRC 🪑
