There have been 80 National Rover Moots in New Zealand. The first was the Dominion Rover Scout Moot at New Brighton Racecourse, Christchurch in 1936 although there was a North island Moot in 1935.

Contents

The Moot is held annually over Easter. The event entails three days of scheduled activities which include a community service project, sporting competitions, and a selection of day tours. A number of awards recognising Rover Crews and individuals for the service and programme they have run over the preceding year are awarded as part of the Moot.

The 2020 Moot was originally scheduled to be Déjà Vu Moot however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event had to be postponed, and the Moot was instead held online. In 2022 the Moot was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to concerns about organising and running the event while New Zealand was in the Red Light setting of the COVID-19 Protection Framework.

Awards

The following trophies are presented annually at moot:

Zulu Shield - Presented to the Crew with the most complete Log Book, which should show that the Crew has maintained a balanced programme based on the aims of the Rover Programme.

Baden Powell Lodge No. 381 Service Shield - Presented to the Crew with the most extensive service over the previous year. Originally presented to Auckland Crews by the Baden Powell Freemasons Lodge. Awarded on a national level after the lodge moved from Auckland to Wellington.

Helen Thomas Memorial Trophy [1] - Awarded to a Rover, nominated by their Crew, as having shown outstanding commitment to service within Scouting and the community, setting an example to those around them, and who lives by the Scout Law. The nominee may be a member who has not been in Rovers for more than two years. Helen died tragically in a rafting accident while attending the 48th National Rover Moot in Timaru.

Moot Spirit Awards

Fergus McLaren Banner [2] - Initially awarded for camping standards at the Moot, but now awarded to the Rover Crew who best participates and shows good Rover spirit during the weekend and is considered the premier award for this section of Scouting. The banner that is currently presented has been in use from 2014 and is the fourth banner. The previous banners commenced use in 1944, 1976 and 1986. The banner is named after 2nd Lt. Fergus McLaren, a Dunedin Rover Scout, who was killed in Greece during the Second World War. [3]

Eastman Shield (Fastest Rover at the Moot) - Awarded to the individual Rover who contributes the most to the Moot spirit. Named for the Eastman Rover Crew from Palmerston North.

Nymph Trophy - Awarded to the crew whose female members contribute most to the success of the Moot.

Macho Trophy - Awarded to the crew whose male members contribute most to the success of the Moot.

Sporting Trophies

Shooting Trophy - Awarded to the crew who scores the highest in the Shooting Trophy competition. Traditionally the competition is a round robin of activities requiring some form of marksmanship skills.

Top Hat & Bowler - Awarded to the winners of the Tug of War competition. There are awards for the winners of the men's, women's, and mixed team competitions. The tug of war is competed as a four person variant of tug of war traditionally played in New Zealand.

The 1933 season of Auckland Rugby League was its 25th. The championship was won by Devonport United. This was their fifth title having previously won it in 1913, 1914, 1928 and 1932. The first two titles were prior to their merger with the nearby Sunnyside club when they were known as North Shore Albions, a name they later reverted to. They finished 1 point ahead of runner up Marist Old Boys. Devonport also won the Stormont Shield for the third time following victories in 1930 and 1931. They defeated Richmond Rovers in the final by 12 points to 7. Richmond had gained their place in the Stormont Shield match by winning the Roope Rooster with wins over Newton (29–15), Marist Old Boys (10–0), and City Rovers in the final by 26 points to 14. This was Richmond's third Roope Rooster title following wins in 1926 and 1927. Marist were awarded the Thistle Cup for the most competition points scored in the second round.

The 1943 Auckland Rugby League season was its 35th. The season was affected once more by World War II with many men away at war. The Auckland Rugby League decided however that there were enough players at the respective senior clubs to have a 9 team competition with no need for any merged sides. This was made easier by the fact that there was no reserve grade competition.
