Personal Achievement for Rover Scouts
Your personal journey as a Rover Scout is all about setting and achieving goals that matter to you, all with the valuable support of a mentor. It is by following a cycle of Personal Development Plans that you make your way to The Portage – the final leg of your Rover Scout journey. Unlike in other Sections, your personal progression in Rover Scouts is not recognized with a badge. The journey is its own reward.
However, as a Rover Scout there are a number of awards that you can pursue, including the Canadian Rover Scout Award – the Top Section Award for the Rover Scout Section. You can also progress in the Outdoor Adventure Skills, explore your faith and achieve the Religion in Life award, earn the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and demonstrate your proficiency in a second language to achieve your Language Strip.
