🌟 NT Rovers at NRC 2026! 🌟

Last weekend, our two NT representatives headed down to Sydney to proudly fly the flag for NT Rovers at the National Rover Council Conference.

Joining delegations from every Branch and the National Rover Council Team, they dove into a full weekend of exciting presentations, engaging workshops, and plenty of great conversations!

We’re also very proud to share that a couple of NT Rovers have officially infiltrated the National Rover Council team, bringing a strong Territory perspective to the table. 🙌🔥

An amazing time was had by all, and our NT team has returned with fresh ideas and plans to help shape Rovering in 2026. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
