Hei hei Rovers! This is Roverposten, the official newspaper for Roverway 2024. We are with you during Paths, Main Camp, and even after Roverway – to feed into the post-camp melancholy.
Throughout Roverway, you can count on us to provide you with fun articles on different activities taking place and interesting individuals that are far beyond Ordinary. Our goal is to serve as a collection of your own favourite Roverway moments, but also to give you insights into what other participants did. We want to make sure you make the most of the Roverway and get the total experience!
If you have fun stories or thoughts to share, we would love to hear from you and include them into Roverposten. Follow this link to share your input. Let’s be NORTH of the Ordinary together!
Roverway was an amazing opportunity to get to know Rovers from all over the planet. One month after the end of Roverway we are looking back at the role Roverway played in different Guide and Scouts’ lives. We asked three people about their story, each representing a different position in this camp.
Young people (especially Guides and Scouts) have a lot of potential to accomplish something extraordinary (or should we say: NORTH of the Ordinary?). Youth can empower themselves and one another, but they also need to be given the trust, space and guidance from outside to reach their potential. But what is empowerment?
Over the past five days of the main camp, there were many activities available. Divided in seven categories, every participant could experience them all: cultural activities, networking activities, outdoor skills, water activities, sustainability, free time (side programme), and Stavanger activities. We asked participants what their favorite activity was, and why.
Human Library is an event during which you meet interesting individuals, who present their life or story as if it was a book. These can be people from different vulnerable or underrepresented social groups. You can then ask any questions you might have about their “title”. We had a chance to meet one of the “books”, Gesa.
All of the participants have fully arrived on July 27, with their luggage in their hands and memories in their hearts! The text team has greeted the participants with smiles and – questions! We wanted to find out what challenges the patrols faced during their journeys across all of Norway, so we asked a few participants to share their experiences with us.
In its first half, Roverway had 91 distinct paths across 62 locations, and offered Rovers from around the world an opportunity to explore, learn and connect in profound ways. This article will highlight some of the memorable experiences by participating in these paths.
If you saw a tiny group of Guides and Scouts at your Path just scavenging around, documenting your arrivals and making conversation, you might just have stumbled upon one of our Path Patrols!
Roverway is made possible by the hard work of volunteers from across Europe and the world. They make up the Planning Team and the International Service Team.
