2018 is the Rover Centenary and we are focusing on the ins and outs of Rovering in South Africa.

The BP Award is the highest Scouting award available to Rovers in South Africa. It is designed to challenge and test all who set out to achieve this prestigious Award and takes into consideration the aim of Scouting, to encourage the Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social and Spiritual Character Development of youth.

Similar to other awards, the BP Award allows for the highest standard to be set. This occurs through the individual participant planning and proposing their goals to their Rover Crew. Through consultation and discussion at this level a target is set that is of a level that is guaranteed to be challenging and that meets the requirements of the BP Award.

To achieve the BP Award a Rover needs to complete the following:
1. Attain the four Advancement Bars.
2. Attain four Rover Awards.
3. Attain at least one of the Rover Challenge Awards.
4. Attend a panel interview with the RC or their nominee to confirm that the Promise and Law have been adopted as a way of life and discuss the personal development that has occurred by means of the Rover Programme.
