Following lobbying efforts headed by Australian Rovers in the 1980s, the World Scout Bureau reintroduced the events, renaming them [[World Scout Moot]], as the term Rover was no longer used in some countries. The 8th World Scout Moot was held in Melbourne, Australia in the summer of 1990/91, followed by the 9th World Scout Moot at Kandersteg, Switzerland in mid-1992. Following this, the events reverted to a four year cycle, with Sweden, then Mexico, then Taiwan as host countries. The 13th World Scout Moot was originally scheduled for Mozambique in 2008, however will now be held in Kenya in 2010. | Following lobbying efforts headed by Australian Rovers in the 1980s, the World Scout Bureau reintroduced the events, renaming them [[World Scout Moot]], as the term ''Rover'' was no longer used in some countries.
