Rover Scouts are youth members belonging to one of four sections in the Singapore Scout Association. They are aged 17-26 years old, and those of 21 years of age and above are allowed to, and often hold concurrent adult leader appointments. 

This section of the Scout movement has its foundations in "Rovering to Success", a piece of literature written by the exalted founder of the Scout Movement, Lord Baden Powell. Although this text was written in a different episteme, some of the concepts broached by B.P. remain as relevant in the 21st Century. Rovering is designed to aid youths in their late teens and early twenties transition into the responsibilities of adulthood in a healthy, fun, and meaningful manner. To this effect, Rover Scouts spend some time planning their lives ahead, and conceptualizing their careers, and how they see themselves contributing to society, etc. 

The activities Rover Scouts involve themselves in go some way towards aiding in the transition to adulthood. They are often self initiated and planned by Rover Scouts from beginning to conclusion, which builds self reliance, leadership, and management skills. Furthermore, collaboration between different Rover Crews on projects is encouraged to promote networking and the sense of an imagined Rover community in Singapore.

The Rover Scout section differs from the other youth sections in that it is self governing. Instead of being adminstered by Commissioners, the annual programmes and budget is tabled, proposed, and implemented by the National Rover Roundtable, which falls under the auspices of the National Programme Team.

The National Rover Roundtable is a body composed of Crew Representatives (or their proxies), observers, Assistant Rover Scout Leaders, and Rover Scout Leaders from every Rover Crew in Singapore. It meets thrice yearly during the National Rover Roundtable, and is present for the Rover Annual General Meeting. The Roundtable meetings are an avenue for information sharing relating to the latest Rover activities and initiatives, and a platform for sharing ideas, networking, and carrying out tasks assigned to the Rovers by SSA HQ.

During the annual general meeting, elections are held to select crew representatives to hold appointments on the National Rover Council. The National Rover Council heads the National Rover Roundtable. It adminsters the roundtable and spearheads its upkeep.

The Baden Powell Award 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.

Rovers who are pursuing the Baden Powell Award may only qualify if they have demonstrated enough commitment and excellence to satisfy the numerous sections of the award. These include objective selection criteria, positive peer reviews, and clearing an interview with the appropriate commissioners. This process ensures that candidates who eventually qualify have a firm grasp of the Scout Method and the other values promulgated by Lord Baden Powell.

The fleur-de-lis being a symbol of Scouting is represents the North point of a compass reminding Rovers to lead the way for others to follow. The tri-foil represents the three parts of the Scout Promise: Duty to God, Service to Others and Obedience to the Scout Law. The middle portion represents the Rovers’ belief in God. The two side-portions of the fleur-de-lis are equal and balanced, reminding Rovers that humanity is equal and balanced. The two stars on either side represent the eyes of the Rover and the original ten parts of the Scout Law. The three parts of the Promise are bound together by a circle symbolising Fellowship.

The green background of the Award is recognized worldwide as a traditional colour of Scouting and its association with Nature. Rovers are encouraged to understand Nature as a way to gaining religion. The golden olive leaves symbolises world peace which the Fellowship of Rovering aims to achieve. The silver wordings of "BP AWARD" symbolises the honour of the Award.

As a Rover, you have lived your life a Rover should live, for you know your weakness and trust not in your own strength but seek the help of your God and the Fellowship of the Movement. Henceforth, you are trusted in your Honour in the continual adherence of your Duty to God, to the Republic of Singapore, to Others and lastly, to yourself.

Occasionally, the Honorary Baden Powell Award is conferred on adult leaders who have made monumental contributions to the development and furtherance of Rovering in Singapore. These awardees, who are of unassailable character, epitomize the spirit of Rover Scouting, and are thus good role models for the fellowship.
