Rover Scout Sri Lanka. We need your Observations and Recommendations . Fell free to leave those recommendations.thank you. Since Rover Scouting began, it has undergone many changes.

Rover Scouting is a service division of Scouting for young men, and in most countries, women. A group of Rovers, analogous to a Scout troop, is called a 'Crew.'
The section was started in 1918, following the successful growth of the Scout Movement, and was intended to provide a Scouting programme for young men who had grown up beyond the age range of the core Scout section. It was quickly adopted

by the national Scouting organisations around the world. Some national Scouting organisations no longer include a Rovering programme, but have replaced it with other programmes. In many of these countries, there are alternative Scouting organisations who maintain the original programme. Despite the differences in programmes, all organisations continue to provide a programme for young men, and sometimes women, into their early 20s.

Backpack Buying Guide
**Please note that this guide is intended for Sri Lankans**

Trekking or Hiking a long trail without a proper backpack can be a stressful experience. I know this because I've had many backpacks of mine worn and torn during journeys. So it’s quite important to have a suitable backpack to carry all you stuff comfortably. Through this article I’m going to guide you on How to Buy a Reliable Backpack (in Sri Lanka). In Sri Lanka Backpacking isn’t quite popular. Whenever you go to a store and ask for a backpack they show those small school bags and single day backpacks. Most stores don’t have proper backpacks and even the stores which sell good quality hiking backpacks don’t offer much of a range to choose from. But if you are willing to sweat a little you might be able to find a good one that suits your preferences.

Before jumping in to buying a backpack you should get to know about the qualities that we should look for. If it’s a single day pack then most commonly available backpack will do but if you want an expedition pack or a multi-day pack then these are the crucial things to look for

1. Should have an Internal or External frame.
2. Should be accessible from top and bottom.
3. Should have padded shoulder straps with load lifters
4. Wider Hip Belt with load stabilizers.
5. Proper Lumbar Pad and Sternum Strap.

I prefer internal frame rather than external frame since internal frame backpacks are much more comfortable to carry in wilderness. They don’t shift like external frames tend to do. Most expedition/multi-day backpacks tend to be tall rather than wide.

So it’s much better if it could be accessible from both top and bottom. Most expedition/multi-day backpacks come with this option and some comes with waterproof sleeping bag compartment which allows access from bottom.

Now let’s talk about suspension system. This is the most important part of a hiking bag since this system enables you to carry weight much more efficiently and distribute weight in a manner that most of the weight (70%) goes through hip belt and to your hips.Below video will explain how you could adjust a backpack suspension system properly.

Scouting

After the Second Boer War, Baden-Powell enjoyed a celebrity status for his command at Mafeking. He set about writing a new book, Scouting for Boys, which was published in 1908. This was removed from his earlier, more martial works, but kept the idea of Scoutcraft as a core part of the Scouting program. Some critics accused Baden-Powell of trying to create a pseudo-military organisation, but he was quick to distance himself and Scouting from his earlier military experiences, and instead pointed out the importance of self-reliance, duty and thoughtfulness which his new program promoted.
In order to test that a new member had earned the title of Scout, Baden-Powell devised a number of tests for them to complete, including knot-tying, animal tracking, first aid, navigation, and fire-lighting. Other tests listed by Baden-Powell include having sixpence in a bank, and knowing about the Union Flag and its significance — these latter tests are generally not included in Scoutcraft in more recent times.[2] Similar books were published in America by Ernest Thompson Seton, a pioneer of the Scouting movement in the United States.
Scoutcraft is still a core part of many organisations' programs. The Scout Association of the United Kingdom lists the following benefits of Scoutcraft:[3]
encourages self reliance, resourcefulness and confidence in their own ability
develops skills to be used in the outdoors
provides training for what to do in emergency situations
[edit]Skills

An example list of Scoutcraft skills, taken from 1964's Boy Scout Handbook (sixth edition) includes:
Camp Cooking
Camp Health
Camp Preparation
Cleanup
Edible Wild Plants
Finding Directions
Fire Building
First aid
Hiking
Knowing Trees and Shrubs
Lashings
Map Reading
Map Sketching
Preparing Firewood
Selecting [a] Campsite
Signaling
Swimming
Tent Pitching
Use of [a] Compass
Using [an] Axe in Camp

Scoutcraft is a term used to cover a variety of woodcraft knowledge and skills required by people seeking to venture into wild country and sustain themselves independently. The term has been adopted by Scouting organizations to reflect skills and knowledge which are felt to be a core part of the various programs, alongside community and spirituality. Skills commonly included are camping, cooking, first aid, wilderness survival, orienteering and pioneering.

Important survival items

Main article: Survival kit
Often survival practitioners will carry with them a "survival kit". This consists of various items they deem necessary or useful for short durations in the wilderness.

Mental preparedness

The mind and its processes are critical to survival. The will to live in a life and death situation often separates those that live and those that do not. Stories of heroic feats of survival by regular people with little or no training but a strong will to live are not uncommon. Among them is Juliane Koepcke. Situations can be stressful to the level that even trained experts may be mentally affected.
To the extent that stress results from testing human limits, the benefits of learning to function under stress and determining those limits may outweigh the downside of stress.[12] There are certain strategies and mental tools that can help people cope better in a survival situation, including focusing on manageable tasks, having a Plan B available and recognizing denial.[13]
