John attempted to reform the Rover Crew in February 1983 - presumably with success. Three of the 1st Berowra Senior Scouts, unable to form a Unit of their own joined with 1st Lindfield. These Senior Scouts were Rolf De Heer, Beric Sneddon and Peter de Ruyter. These Rovers continued for about a year or two. Later another attempt was made and Venturers again travelled away from the Group to learn what Rovers was all about. They were sponsored by 1st Turramurra. Numbers were not large enough to make it very viable and the competition from outside interests and activities meant that attendance was often poor. The Rover Crew was de-registered in August 1987, but fortunately was re-registered on 14th November 1988, with Laura Brown as Crew Leader, Brian Engert as Rover Adviser and Heather-Ann Cairns as Crew Secretary. The Rover Crew started with 11 Rovers (7 males and 4 females). They met Fridays between 7.30pm and 9.30pm. At present membership of the Rover Unit is 26 and is at it highest ever point. |
