Never have heard of the Rovers before reading Elinor's story. Does anyone know if the Rovers are still going?

From Wikipedia:

There are today Venturing Crews of the BSA following the Rover scheme and taking an interest in high adventure outdoor activities and international Scouting. To a great extent, these Crews follow B-P's idea of preparation for life and the pursuit of life. Typically, these Crews are made up of members who came up through the Boy and Girl Scouting programs and want to continue to serve the Scouting movement and the community while broadening and retaining the fellowship of Scouting and continuing self-development.

Another group maintaining a Rovering legacy is the Baden-Powell Service Association. It has no upper age limit for its members to earn awards. It is not associated with the Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the USA, World Organization of the Scout Movement or World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. The group is dedicated to perpetuating the history and traditions of Rover Scouting.
