Path is the first half of Roverway and will be composed of many different mini-camps, taking place from the 22 to 27 July 2024. Hundreds of volunteers in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are ready to welcome you and your patrol to their Roverway path. Bring yourself, an open-minded attitude and a big smile and get ready for a unique experience!
Every Path is an “independent” Guide and Scout camp organized by passionate teams and volunteers. While this website provides general information, please note that your path leader will offer the latest updates and guidance. In the event of differences between the information on this website and the information provided by your Path Leader, always adhere to the information from your Path Leader.
Let’s go up to the top! This path takes place in beautiful Rondane, Norway’s oldest national park filled with mountains all around. We will use a campsite at a cabin of the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) as our basecamp and take day trips to both mountain tops and valleys. You’ll get to experience breathtaking views after some challenging mountain hikings. If you are feeling adventurous, take a dip in the fresh lake after long days in the mountains.

As the name suggests this is a cycling path, but it will take you through one of the most beautiful valleys of Norway, Grimsdalen. On our bicycles we will cycle up on the mountains of Dovre and into the valley separating two of Norway’s national parks. We will sleep in our tents on campsites and move through the valleys on our bicycles. One of the day we will spend hiking in the mountains before continuing our cycling adventure down from the mountains.
The road we will cycle on will be a paved and gravel road. It is accessible by car.

On this Path, you will follow in the footsteps of pilgrims, musks and trolls. We will hike along the pilgrim’s path between Trondheim and Oslo through the mountain terrain of Dovre. In doing so you may see the musk – a wild animal that lived in Norway before the last ice age (more than 30 000 years ago). The musk was reintroduced to the area in the early nineteen hundreds. Another creature, with no need for reintroduction to this area, is also known to roam Dovre. This is a creature of mythical descent with eyes the size of dinner plates – we are of course referring to trolls.
The plan is to travel between 10 – 15 km per day with a maximum incline of 200 meters. This will leave us with plenty of time to set camp, prepare good meals, explore more nature and get acquainted with other rovers and rangers.

Young leadership is a key element in Norwegian scouting and therefore we focus on educating our scouts from a young age to become leaders. Roland is held by the Norwegian YWCA-YMCA scouts for scouts between 14 and 16 years old. The goal of the course is that the participants develop as patrol leaders and learn skills that will help them lead their own patrols. The course consist of among other things advanced pioneering, first aid, orienteering and instruction techniques. We have adapted Roland to be a path for Roverway where you can experience one of the best courses we have for our young leaders here in Norway! During Roland you will get to test the patrol system yourself by working together in international patrols. You will get the opportunity to develop practical skills through learning by doing and participate in discussions about young leadership and how to develop young leaders.

Welcome to the beautiful national park Jotunheimen. On this Path we are going to be in the Norwegian mountains. Firstly we are going to take a boat to the first location. The following days we are going to climb mountain tops and walk across a spectacular mountain ridge with steep walls on both sides and a fantastical view. We will be sleeping in tents and walk 25 kilometers over two days in challenging terrain over Bukkelægret and Besseggen.
You have to bring a tent yourself, and we will recommend tents that fit 3-6 people. But we are going to sleep nearby cottages, so that we can use the hygiene facilities there. Food will be prepared in patrols outdoors on storm-kitchens.
