ROVERING TOWARDS 2010 SURVEY

The Rovering Towards 2020 team have put together a survey and would love to have as many Rovers complete it as possible. So what are you waiting for? Do the Rovering Towards 2020 survey now!

Please promote this repeatedly to every Rover you know. Your feedback will shape the Rover section for the next 10 years. The survey will be available until 21 April 2010 so don't miss the opportunity.


QUEST 2011: INCEPTION

Whats the most resilient parasite? An idea. Resilient, highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate.

This year Quest is going to give so many ideas you won't know what do with them. Quest is a free 1 day Rover event run by the BRC where you will get to learn about things like:

  • The Baden-Powell Scout Award
  • Grant writing
  • Harassment, discrimination and conflict resolution
  • The Rover Review

Quest is on 2 April 2011 at Newington Armoury Theatre. For more information check out www.nsw.rovers.com.au/events/quest.html
