Ok, you're wondering - why is there copyright information on a Rover Crew's Web Site? Why should we really care about it? Well the fact is, we're doing this because we have every right to.
After having it brought to our attention by National Rover Council that Copyright on the internet was a big deal, and Scouting pages should not infringe copyright. Thus, on a past redesign we decided that a lot of stuff on this site most definitely belongs to GRovers, and we therefore should copyright it.
All our information about Copyright is from the Copyright Council of Australia and the Commonwealth Consolidated Acts - Copyright Act 1968 store-housed at the Australasian Legal Information Institute.

The majority of text on this site is Copyright © GRovers 1996-2007. The only exceptions are:
The text on the Rovers page is from the old Scouts Australia Homepage, the exact original source URL is identified on that page.
The contents of the Guestbook are written by our visitors, so therefore their text belongs to them. I'd regard it as Public Domain, but there seems little point as to why anyone would want to copy anything from the Guestbook anyway!
