How many people who are or where in BSA know what a rover scout is?

This question is for others, I know what it is. After being out of touch with scouting for quite some time, and after some time of deliberation, a rover crew from a Mexican Scout Group invited me and accepted me as a member. During a religious service in a church a few months before the actual centenary where quite a crowd of "old" scouts attended, when they asked which troop or post I belonged too, they were amazed when I mentioned I did my oath formally in a rover crew, as a scout, not a scouter, at 18! Some taught I was kidding, a few wondered if I was telling the truth, only one retired scouter knew. Just taught to add some debate, roverism is a branch of scouting for those 18 to 26, originally founded in the 1920s in England it no longer exists there but it does in many nations. The cut-off age varies, the WOSM puts it for all international events at 26, but some nations like New Zealand and South Africa put it at 30, in many Latin American nations is between 23 and 21.
