Rovering to Success is a life-guide book written and illustrated by Robert Baden-Powell and published in two editions from June 1922 as a handbook for The Boy Scouts Association's Rovers program which had been launched in November 1919. It has a theme of paddling a canoe through life. The original edition and printings of the second edition were subtitled "A Book of Life-Sport for Young Men"[1] but this was changed to "A Guide for Young Manhood" in the later printings, which ran until 1964.[2] It was used by The Boy Scouts Association as the handbook of its Rover program until 1966, when its review, The Chief Scouts' Advance Party Report, recommended that "a new Training Section be formed to replace the existing Senior Scout and Rover Scout Sections".[3]
