Roverway 2024

From 22-27 July, participants will explore a 'path' in locations such as Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Aalesund. Paths are a mini-camp with a range of activities, terrain, sleeping location and physical activity level. These vary from adventurous to cultural and creative.

Our UK patrols will join patrols from other countries to complete their chosen path, under the supervision of a Path Leader, International Service Team (IST) and Norwegian Scout Groups.

All the patrols join for a large camp near Stavanger. Stavanger is often called 'the gateway to the fjords', and its location on the west coast affords it access to some of Norway’s most iconic scenery.

The camp is a chance to share stories from their paths and to take part in a programme of activities with young people from across Europe and beyond.

The final part of Roverway is the post-event, which sees the UK Contingent come together for a shared and unique experience.

After a day of activities at Sola Beach and catching the overnight ferry to Denmark, we'll have 2 days to explore the capital city, Copenhagen.

Goal: To be inclusive of Scouts from all backgrounds. 

Objective: The UK Contingent to Roverway 2024 will improve upon the representation of UK Scouting’s socio-economic, religious and ethnic background, compared to the most recent international events.

Goal: To empower young people to shape their Roverway experience.​

• YouShape Team - participants taking a leading role to shape and influence our plans and decisions, and supporting the delivery of the Youth Forum.
