Notable Australian Rovers
Dick Smith - He was a Scout for 14 years and a member of 1st East Roseville Rover Crew on Sydney's North Shore. He earned the Baden-Powell Award in 1966. Well known amongst Rovers for an expedition that was organised by the Crew to sail using a small sailing boat and climb Ball's Pyramid, an incredible rock spire about 300 miles to the east of Sydney, near Lord Howe Island. This expedition and a reunion of participants 40 years later, were documented in the 2005 film Rock of Ages, part of ABC-TV's Australian Story series. Dick's Scouting background is profiled here.
