New Rover Scout Training Scheme
With the official introduction of the new scheme, the previous scheme (7 proficiency badges) is been replaced with immediate effect. The “Rambu Pengakap Kelana” award is also replaced by “BP award” which shall be presented upon completion of the training scheme whereby the candidate has to submit all his log book for review and once satisfy, he shall be nominated for the award via respective state HQ. The award and certificate shall be issued from the national HQ.
On the whole, the new scheme is still working on a 3+1 basis, whereby rovers are required to complete 3 compulsory badges and 1 optional badge (chosen from 5 optional proficiency badges). The 3 compulsory badges (according to sequence) are:
1, Lencana Kemahiran - Scout Craft (Compulsory)
2, Lencana Perkhimatan - Service (Compulsory)
3, Lecana Pengembaraan - Rambler (Compulsory)
and the 5 optional badges are:
1, Lencana Kepimpinan - Leadership (Optional)
2, Lencana ICT - ICT (Optional)
3, Lencana Aktivity Ekstrem - Extreme Activities (Optional)
4, Lencana Penyelamat Nyawa - Life Saver (Optional)
5, Lencana Keusahawanan - Entepreneurship (Optional)
New Rover Proficiency Badges
The age range for the rovers still remains from 18 ~ 40 years old. However, only those who completed the training scheme and fall between 18 ~ 25 years old are eligible for the BP award. The BP award is presented in the form of certificate as well as a single sided Rover epolette which shall be worn only on the right shoulder.

Hi Daniel,
Is the training scheme book available at Sarawak Scout HQ?
Do we have to go through it again?

Ad:
1, currently not available yet in Scout HQ but available soon in BP Centre.
2, Currently we are studying the feasibility to convert the old rambu holder to the new BP award. As the 3 compulsory badges’ requirements are similar, those who have obtained their rambu, may only need to do extra 1 badge (choose from 5 optional badges) to qualify. Of course, they have to be not more than 25 years old. But all these are to be confirmed. Will organize a general briefing soon. Stay tuned.

Hi Steven,
Good to hear from our brothers in Brunei.
Currently we only have the old copies of the training scheme with us in softcopies. Perhaps we could send them to you for reference. As for the new training scheme, we still do not have it in softcopy yet. We also have the hardcopy of the training scheme for the Philipines Rovers. Perhaps we can email them to you after scanned if you are interested.
Best Regards
Daniel
