Recipe for
an On Campus Rover Crew
Ingredients:
- 5 Rovers
- Enough Dedication for
each Rover to keep Crew warm
- 1 understanding Advisor
- 1 Hell of a lot of
Spirit
Take the 5 Rovers and
try to get them together in one room when they don't have any
pressing recipes (usually referred to as courses, or assignments
by the Rovers) to do. Add one Advisor to get you on task so
that you can be done before the next morning (unlike many recipes).
Mix in spirit a little at a time; some for recruitment, some
for community projects, some for moots. Recruitment is a necessary
part of any Rover Crew dish, without additional ingredients
the Crew may never be able to server enough people. To acquire
additional ingredients put up posters telling about your recipe
and how much fun, experience and Scouting one can get out of
it. With any luck, you can get another 5 Rovers to compliment
your dish.
On campus Rover Crews
are very difficult to get to rise, and once they have risen
take a great deal to keep them cooking. The largest problem
with Rovers and the University kitchen is that many Rovers are
needed for other recipes. This is where the dedication comes
into play, cooking times have to be arranged around other recipes
so that everything can be made in time and fun can still be
had. A bowl for the Rovers and Advisor to be mixed in is also
essential. You need a small bowl, so that each ingredient can
interact, and it needs to be away from other cooking currently
going on so that the ingredients attention is kept by the Crew
recipe.
I have found that this
recipe is marvelous! My recipe was started three years ago (by
yours truely) and is still cooking. I hope you can use this
recipe and that it brings you the same enjoyment in cooking
that it has brought me.
