7.1. ANZAC Vigil

Padbury R.C
 The roster for the evening has been posted on the Facebook page and the WARC
website. It will also be included with the minutes.
 There is a budget for food so there will be some food items provided.
 Looking for equipment from WARC or Branch to help the event. Going smoothly.
 Please ensure your uniforms are of the correct standard, otherwise you will not
be permitted to take part.
7.2. St George’s Day
24th April
Warwick R.C

Agenda
7.3. Gravelmoot (TENDERS CLOSE) 13th-15th May
T. Batters
 2 Tenders have been received; one from Mark Joslin and Nathan Lifford, and one
from Wembley Downs Rover Crew.
 Mark and Nathan tender:
o Nathan works a lot at Manjadel so is familiar with the logistics of the area
and work needing done.
o Mark will be in charge of the other events and evening activities.
o Looking at $15-20 per person with Bishop Riley RC catering.
o Not sure what projects are as yet.
o Couple of construction and painting projects are on the cards as well as
some cleaning up projects.
o Mark and Nathan will be heading up a week before to ensure all projects
are ready to roll and ensuring productivity and a Sunday early afternoon
finish.
 Wembley Downs:
o Over the last few years the Crew have been building up to running bigger
events.
o Idea for the camp will be a focus on training Rovers in a variety of things
like using tools, setting up our larger tents, taking on and completing
projects.
o It will be run as a training camp so we no longer need to rely on the old
hands to run such service events. This will ensure future proofing so
future events will be more successful and more productive.
o Will be sleeping at Gilwell and not the Youth Centre this year.
o Bishop Riley will be catering at roughly $15 per person.
o Possible BBQ dinner on Friday night from Branch as a thank you to the
section.
 Bishop Riley: are Booted Rovers and Fellowship invited to attend?
o Wembley Downs: Yes we need them to head up certain training teams.
o Mark and Nathan: Yes as we need experience for Gravelmoot.
 Swan Districts: To Wembley Downs, are we doing actual service to Manjadel as
the tender sounds otherwise?
o We will be focusing on maybe 5 or 6 jobs, and doing them well rather
than rushing through. This will allow for proper training opportunities.
The main idea being that if we take it easy this year and train properly
then future events will be more productive.
 RSM President: Mark, as you are running activities what are the games planned
for the evening?
o The usual Gravelmoot activities, and possibly a Karaoke machine.
Agenda

Bishop Riley: Both tenders have referenced costs, have you actually costed the
menus yet?
o Mark, yes we have looked at it based on last couple of Gravelmoots
factoring in some inflation.
o Wembley Downs, SpudShed is our friend.


Voting: Majority vote for Wembley Downs Tender.
Thanks to both groups for submitting a tender.

 The date is currently set at 13th August, however the date is changeable.

o Delshard is in charge of this area, looking at contacting Guide House for
newsletter and touching base with other organisation head offices.
If you are scared of Zombies there are positions available on bases and on the
committee as staff so you can still be involved.
Methods of the game will be revealed before the event.
What does the cost cover?
o Logistics, catering, and badges.
This event will be run through the Branch accounts, which means we will have to
abide by the Branch Event Admin cut offs and so on.

This is a brand new event and not to be compared with RoVenture and Mission
Impossible.

R. Collins
Agenda




Currently scheduled for 16th October 2016 so please keep that date free. Last
year we had to cancel due to low numbers, even though the Council chose a
date and a format.
The purpose of the event is for the Branch Rover Youth Forum to take place,
workshopping training ideas, workshopping WARC policies, and any other issues
the Rover Section needs to discuss.
If you have suggestions for topics to discuss please email Rebecca Collins.
This will also be a chance to review our strategic plan for growth. These previous
RoverCon goals will be sent out with the minutes for Crews to review.
7.9. The Moot Convoy
December 2016
T. Beaver
 Keep it in your mind and start planning.
 Start looking at finding a group to travel across with as it will save some of the
costs.
7.10. The Moot
December 2016
S. Williams
 Please keep signing up and ensure your applications are ready.
 Ensure you have selected your expeditions by April as that is when they will be
allocated and you don’t want to miss out.
 There are lots of expeditions to pick from, some are in different states too.
 We now have some promo merchandise including coasters and business cards.
 Platinum off site activities will be released around Easter, date TBA.
 Chat to your Venturers who will be old enough and encourage them to come,
same with members of your Crew.
 Fee due dates are coming up fast, please remember that some late fees will
apply to payments made after due dates.
8. Training
8.1. April Basic
15th-17th April
S. Williams
 Crew Leaders need to complete training as a requirement of the Quality
Rovering Award so this is a perfect time to sign up.
 This will be our first Rover only Basic Training, so it will be tailored specifically for
the Rover program.
 We will hopefully complete the Bushwalking training requirements on the same
weekend. Allowing the whole Basic program to be covered in the one weekend.
 E-Learning will need to be completed prior to attending the weekend.
Agenda







This training course is a trial, running Rover training away from Gilwell to ensure
it is tailored specifically to Rovers. So if it works we can look into continuing it in
the future.
Possibly 15-20 people signed up, which will make this the largest Basic Training
course we have run in recent history.
The Rover Training Team have some new Rover presenters for the weekend, and
are looking at adding to the team, so we will hopefully have an engaging and
varied weekend for those attending.
E-learning needs to be completed by the 28th of March.
Forms also need to be in by 28th of March.
If you need to Rebecca and Steph can arrange for night e-learning times at
Branch.
Any questions contact Steph Williams vicechairman@warovers.com.au
8.2. July Basic
29th-31st July
S. Williams
 Will be run at Gilwell with the other sections’ training.
 This weekend will be good for University Students as it is during the University
study break.
 We need 6 people minimum to run the course.
8.3. Advanced
19th-21st Aug/16th-18th Sep S. Williams
 Earlier Advanced course was cancelled due to lack of numbers.
 We need 4 people to run the course.
 You need to have completed Basic Training before you can attend an Advanced
course.
 SAIT and Scout Training have changed recently, so if you would still like to
complete a VET Certificate III in Business or Certificate IV in Frontline
Management you will need to let your trainers know before the course so they
can set you up with the correct paperwork. This change was made as a lot of
Leaders were finding completing the Certificate work unnecessary for their
Scouting role. However for Rovers, completing the VET qualifications can be a
valuable asset to your start in the workforce.
8.4. October Basic
21st-23rd October
S. Williams
Agenda

Another course at Gilwell which will be run if needed.
8.5. Child Safe E-Learning
S. Williams
 This e-learning must be done or you will be de-registered.
 From the time you register as a Rover you have 6 months to complete the Child
Safe e-learning.
 WHS modules do not need to be completed, as otherwise advertised. WA has
not signed on to the national requirements for completing WHS. However feel
free to do this module as it could be useful and could be made compulsory in
future.
9. General Business
9.1. Rover Service Awards
R. Collins
 Applications have now closed for recommending someone for an Adult
Recognition Award, such as the Rover Service Award.
 A Rover is needed to sit on the committee for Adult Recognition Awards who
review all ARA recommendations, including the Rover Service Award.
 If you are interested in this position, please contact Rebecca Collins
chairman@warovers.com.au
 If more than one person is interested the WARC Executive will make an
executive decision as the ARA Committee needs the position filled ASAP as the
current Rover sitting on the committee is now 26.
 There are no requirements to sit on the ARA Committee other than being a
Rover, however we would preferably want someone who will be able to
articulate their decision regarding Award recommendations.
 If you have nominated someone for an Award then you cannot sit in while the
ARA Committee reviews their recommendation.
9.2. Constitutional Changes
R. Collins
 These changes were talked about last meeting, please see 9.7 of the February
Minutes.
 The motion passed in 9.7 of the February Minutes recommended the WARC
Executive look into the Constitution points regarding quorum at WARC meetings.
In doing this the Executive have identified several other issues within the two
documents, the Constitution and Standing Orders.
Agenda



As none of these points are pressing issues, we will discuss them at RoverCon
and then vote on them after RoverCon.
So in regards to the Motion put forward last WARC, we will suspend the
outcome of the motion until RoverCon.
RoverCon will be a more appropriate forum for discussion of any Constitutional
and Standing Order changes and will allow for a wider variety of Rovers to have
input in the decisions.
9.3. MyScout Formation Details
R. Collins
 There is a section on MyScout where you can search for your nearest Rover
Crew.
 Some Crews do not have up to date meeting locations and times saved into
MyScout so please talk to your Group Leader and ensure they have correct
information saved for your Crew.
9.4. Crew Emails
R. Collins
 Included in the agenda pack is a how-to for logging into the WARC Crew email
addresses.
 These will be the contact email addresses used in the Crew blurbs on the website
and all promotional correspondence, rather than personal emails. This ensures
that we do not have to constantly change contact details.
 Please remember that these are public Rover email addresses, so you are acting
as a representative of the Section when communicating through them.
9.5. Quality Rovering Award
S. Williams
 Already been talked about in 9.1 of the agenda. Sorry for the double up.
9.6. Agenda Items
R. Morse
 Please have Agenda items to secretary@warovers.com.au by Friday directly
before WARC.
 This allows for the agenda to be finalised and sent out before the meeting, also
will ensure printed copies supplied at the meeting are accurate.
 If you have an urgent agenda item that needs to be discussed at WARC, which is
not submitted by the Friday cut off, then it will be considered by the Chairman
for inclusion if submitted by 6pm on the Sunday of WARC.
Agenda

We will try and keep meetings to a finish time of around 8:30pm. So if there are
late additions to the agenda they will be discussed at the end of the agenda only
if there is time.
10. Workplace Health and Safety
10.1. Current WHS Issues
R. Collins
10.1.1. WARC Printer
 Printer has been moved to the Training room for use at the present time.
However, the Branch IT systems are being updated so hopefully by next WARC
we will be able to print to the Branch printer downstairs.
 This will mean we can store our printer in the long term for use during events
only.
10.1.2. Tables
 This month the tables were in the meeting room, so hopefully it will continue
that way.
10.2. New WHS Issues
 No new WHS issues brought to the table.
Next Meeting:
Sunday 3rd April 2016 at 7.00pm

Chairman’s Report March 2016
MARCH?! What happened to Feb? It’s all going too fast!
They do say time flies when you’re having fun…
This past month has been a busy one with big pushes to get the year started properly, our first WARC
event of the year, adding a new crew to the table, and another new crew coming out of the woodwork
to get started…
My month has flown by. This next month will be focusing on keeping projects running (including the
Constitution/Standing Orders and policy reviewing and getting Geraldton RC squired this week), setting
up a couple of new projects and organising the RoverCon 2016.
RoverCon is the opportunity for all rovers in WA to help workshop out ideas and form a plan for the next
3 years, the current date we have in our calendar is the 16th of October (two weeks after the AFL finals
finish, not to repeat last year). For us to successfully run this meeting of minds we need a couple of
things from you; a commitment to attend, and ideas you want to discuss. Send in ideas to
Chairman@warovers.com.au, get thinking about things you want to change, things you might like to
improve, things you want the same and things I might never have thought to discuss!
Yours in Rovering,

Vice Chairman’s Report March 2016
Hello Rovers,
It looks like we just might be able to run the April Basic Course. What do I need from you guys to make
that a “we WILL be running the April Basic Course”? Well, I need TR1 forms filled out by you ASAP and
your E-Learning done by the 28th of March. So get to it, as the course looks fantastic. We have really
been pushing the envelope with this course and I am extremely excited to see how it runs.
CREW LEADERS! Please be aware that you must have completed or attended Rover Basic Training for
you Crew to be eligible for the Quality Rovering Award, and since I challenged you all to attain that
award, I expect you all to attend training this year. Only exception is if you have already completed
training as some of you have. Crew Leaders remember, “To be a leader means to be able to move the
masses” and you can achieve this by coming to training and being given the resources and developing
the skills required to do this.
Quality Rovering Award forms will be changing this year to be more relevant to current rovers. The form
was developed a number of years ago and has not been updated since. It will not be changing drastically
so please keep working on your logbooks and program activities that cover SPICES.
There is a fair amount of work going on behind the scenes on the training and membership side of
things, so I will announce things in due course or you may notice it yourself if you come to training.
Crew Leaders could you please ensure that all new members to the crew fill out the A1 form, as they will
not be registered as a Rover if they have not done this. And as always, Please ensure that all members
have completed the Child-safe E-learning module.
Yours in Rovering,
Steph Williams

Public Relations Report March 2016
Hey Everyone,
Three big congratulations to Caitlin Arcus this month. First for completing the Rottnest Channel Swim,
the second is for all her hard work with the Red Rover Days which was recognised last week by the
Australian Red Cross for the most donations within a community group, and finally for running another
successful Sandmoot.
I hope everyone had a great time at Sandmoot, and that everyone has seen the great photos that have
appeared on Facebook in the last week, if you haven’t don’t worry they’ll be on the WARC Facebook and
Instagram pages this week.
If you missed out on Work Shirts at Sandmoot, I know some of you did, more will be ordered ASAP, as
well as new Red Activity Shirts so keep an eye out for those.
And as always, if your crew has done something new, exciting or different send me a photo at
profficer@warovers.com.au and it can be featured on our social pages.

Hey There Rover Buddies!
I hope you have all recovered and unpacked from the wonderful shenanigans of Sandmoot – Moot
Ahoy! This year we had over 90 participants – the largest Sandmoot that I have seen since I have been
in Rovers, so a massive thankyou to everyone who attended, I’m sure you all had amazing weekend. I
also want to say a HUGE thankyou to those who helped organise and run the event.
Our next upcoming events are St Georges Day (24th April) and the ANZAC Day Vigil (24th – 25th April).
Both of these events require you to have your Full Uniform – so make sure everything is spotless and
perfect (aka, don’t pull a Jack Bannister and sew your badges on with tooth floss). The Vigil Roster has
been sent out – you can check your Crews time slots on the WA Rovers Facebook Page.
Tonight we will be voting on tenders for Gravelmoot and also for the Venture/Rover Event. I’m certainly
excited to see what the outcome will be!
Tenders are also now open for running the 2016 Rover Ball – this is the one night of the year where
Rovers truly let their hair down. It’s also one of the easiest events to run – so if you are a new crew or
your crew hasn’t run an event in a while – this is a great one for you to tender for! Remember tenders
need to be submitted by Sunday 27th March for them to be presented at April WARC.
Nominations are also open for Badgi Bash Chairman – this is a super fun event. So if you want to run it
get in touch with Tom Beaver on rsmpresident@warovers.com.

Branch Rover Adviser’s Report
March 2016
Firstly my apologies for not making the meeting tonight in person. I look forward to joining you virtually
along with some of our regional Rover Crews.
What an inspiring month it has been with some great events and some amazing individual activities that
people have been up to. Make sure you congratulate the event organisers and people that have inspired
you. Have a chat with them, see how they got to where they and use those ideas to work through to
some goals that you would like to achieve. Congratulations must also go to our BPSA Awardees Rebecca
and Adele on getting their awards presented at the Youth Awards.
My challenge to you all this month is to look at how we can improve things. Are we doing the review bit
of the plan, do, review that YPR is talking about? After we have done an activity we should be thinking
how can we do that better. What can we improve upon, learning from our mistakes? What did we do
well that we would like to ensure that we do again next time? What other or new ideas could we try to
make it even better? As much as this applies to activities and events it can also apply to the way we do
things. Are we leading by example? Do we have the best structures, processes and policies in place? This
are some of the things I would encourage you to thinking about at your crew and also more holistically
as a part of WA Rovers. Be the change you want to see or at least bring it up for discussion at WARC.
Remember I am here to help (even if from a little further away now), if there is anything I can help out
with, please let me know.
Cheers
Jason Thomson.

WARC Exec
Issue 1
RoverCon 2014
Recommendations
Executive Summary
RoverCon 2014 was run to brainstorm ideas that would improve Rovering in WA and contribute to the development
of a strategic plan through to 2020. A 2 day, overnight event was held at the Society for Crippled Children’s camp at
Point Peron, Rockingham. Session topics were agreed with the WARC Executive and facilitated by WA Leaders and
commissioners. While a number of suggestions were made about the future of WA Rovers, further work needs to be
done to fashion this into a strategic plan.
Date Place & Time & Attendance
RoverCon 2014 was held from 10am on Saturday 25 October to 3pm on Sunday 26 October at the Alfred Hines Camp
for Crippled Children near Rockingham.
29 Rovers and 5 RAs applied to attend RoverCon. 2 of the Rovers attended part time and 3 failed to show up. 4 of
the RAs attended primarily to provide catering support and participated as advisers during the discussions when
these duties permitted.
RoverCon Discussions and Conclusions
The following suggestions were made during the conference and are presented here without censorship.
Venturer/Rover Interactions – Crew Level
Participants discussed what works best at a Crew level. The following suggestions were made:
 Group Camps
 Crew/Unit joint activities
 Linking Ceremonies
 Have patience around exam time
The use of multiple paths of communication was recommended:
 Email
 Facebook
 Text
 Face to Face
 Send Crew program to the Venturer Unit
 PR videos and Crew information pack (could have Crew profiles on WARC website)
 Phone calls
 Target Venturer Leaders
Interaction opportunities:
 Service at the Scout section
 Attend Group linking ceremonies
 Sailing
 Annual activities with them (may be Group specific – sailing, Baja cars etc)
 Non-alcohol events (colour coded program – Red = Rovers only, Green = Linking Venturers)
 Have a great program of activities
Best Practice Ideas:
 Challenge activities (team based, mixed teams, provide food)
 Minute to Win it
 Quiz night
 Laser tag
 Scavenger Hunt
 Bring food
 Service
 What do the Venturers get out of it? They need a purpose to participate. Learning about Rovers is a bonus,
not the main event.
 Make sure they are good activities
Venturer Rover Interaction – State Level
The following ideas for a branch level event were considered but discarded:
 Dry Ball/Social
 Raft camping
 Construction
After ranking ideas for effort, attendance and effectiveness, the following ideas were shortlisted for potential further
development:
 Quiz Night
 Battle of the Sexes Camp
 Mud Run
It was noted that Venturers should be included in the organizing committee of any events selected.
Further discussion on the shortlisted activities is recorded here:
Quiz Night
PROs
CONs
Easy to scale up/down
Attendance of Venturers & Rovers
Can have a theme
Minimal mixed socialization
Only takes up one night
Requires prior preparation
Wide area of knowledge to use
Need to obtain prizes
Alternative type of activity
Needs good promotion
Low cost
Can have dominating personalities
Venturers on the organizing team, providing a
Tailored content is required
mentoring opportunity
Venturer Leaders may not be onside
WWCC & membership required?
Battle of the Sexes Camp
Would be held over a weekend, not at Manjedal or Busselton.
Teams of female Rovers with female Venturers and teams of male Rovers with male Venturers
The girls would do stereotypical male activities such as chainsaw training while the guys would do stereotypical
female activities such as cooking. There would be discussions in each group.
PROs
Increased female Venturers linking
Cross section friendships
Less intimidation
Removal from cliques
Allows sharing of life experiences
Breaks down barriers
Mud Run
PROs
Rover / Venturer team interaction
Competing challenges in a team
Exciting & fun, which encourages participation
Competition based – different challenges eg costumes
District & group interaction
If done as a community event = promotional
CONs
Could result in segregation
Uncomfortable / inappropriate conversations
Pressure to contribute / share could be embarrassing
Gender cliques
Gender stereotypes of girl guides & boy scouts
Not taken seriously
Sexual identification / sexual orientation
Rovers organizing rather than participating
CONs
Not everyone is physically inclined
Sensitive individuals – girls may not want to participate
Monetary & organizational cost – insurance, branch
approval & risk of physical injury
Programming?
Location – travel accessibility
Attendance levels
Organising committee
How do we catch Venturers from non-Rover Groups?

Running quality Venturer/Rover interaction events rotating on a 3 year
cycle
Mapping the location of each Crew and Unit
Create links between Crews and Units, developing new, possibly district,
Crews where required
Including Crew profiles on the WARC website
Developing links with the Olave program
Running stalls at Uni and TAFE Open Days

These are to be completed by the WARC secretary (with PR input on content) starting in 2015 and continuing
thereafter.
The secretary is to develop a ‘How To’ Guide for website maintenance by the end of 2015.
Organisation
AIM: Ensure that the organization of Rovers in WA supports the growth of the organization
This will be achieved by:
 Building a stronger relationship with Training

 Increased recognition of BPSA to employers
 Have fluid communication between Branch and WARC/Rovers
 Have better and clearer communication between Rovers themselves
 Allow MyScout calendar to sync with phones (iCal support)
 Online event management / registration / payment
AIM: Develop a comprehensive list of Rover resources available and information on how to access them. Provide
information on where to find branch resources.
This will be carried out by the WARC Quartermaster in 2015.
AIM: Develop a list of previous providers / vendors to allow relationship building and lower costs across events.
This will be carried out by the WARC Activities Officer in 2015.
AIM: Run a limited number of fantastic events that develop Rovers’ skills and encourage membership.
This will be carried out by the RSM President in 2015.
