In Malaysia, the scout movement has been absorbed into the Malaysian education system to encourage more students to take up extra curricular activities so as to eliminate sosial ills besides developing individual skills and self development.
While the move has contributed to the increase of scouts membership, it has also developed a poor perception towards the movement. Some of the perceptions are that scouts are only for school boys and girls and teachers are the scout leaders. In other words, scouting are only for schools. As a result, a lot of these scouts left the movement as soon as they left school. This is very frustrating as we need these scouts to continue scouting and promoting the movement.
It should be stressed that scouting is not limited to schools only. The scout movement recognises this and offers another section of the scout movement that is the Rover Scout unit
Rover scout or "Pengakap Kelana" in Malaysia is the adult section of the Scout movement open to men and women between the ages of 18 to 40 years old. It offers fun fellowship and action in areas of interest of all young adults. The action takes place with a great bunch of friends in a Rover Crew or "Kumpulan Kelana".
