4.4 Rover Scout Team Leaders The Rover Scout Community provides Rover Scouts with a number of opportunities to practice leadership: • Team Leaders, in charge of leading a specific team • Task group co-ordinators, in charge of leading a specific task group
• Chairman, in charge of preparing and chairing the meetings of the Assembly and the meetings of the Council
• Any other role considered relevant by the Community in the particular context it is operating
These leadership roles are chosen by the members of their teams and confirmed by the Community Assembly. The Assembly directly elects all other Team Leaders. Some NSOs, do not provide the opportunity for young adults to hold positions of responsibility in the Rover Scout section, so often the young adults look to the junior sections to find positions of responsibility in order to prove their value and assert their identity. See discussion “Rover Scouts or leaders” on Chapter “Adult Support”. The responsibility of the leaders in the Rover Scout section should be a full and strong responsibility recognised at the same level as the function of assistant leader in the junior sections.
4.5 The Rover Scout Community Advisor The Rover Scout Community advisor has the specific duty to advise, support, empower all of the Rover Scouts and a role in protecting the mission of Scouting in their Rover Scout section. The Rover Scout Community advisor’s role and profile are detailed in chapter “Adult support”.
