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!
The story about La Freccia Rossa is one about taking initiative, active citizenship, leaving the world better than you found it and going on an adventure.
Having good meals is one of the most important aspects. The food depot is where the participants are getting their meals. Here is an inside view of the work done there.
If you passed the Contingent tents on July 29, you would have seen that there was a lot going on. On International Day, every country represented their culture and Guiding and Scouting movement by presenting it at the Plaza. There, all the Guides and Scouts were able to collect stamps on little paper passports, by taking part in the prepared activities.
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.
Today is International Day at Roverway! The day will be filled with lots of international activities where the Participants can learn about new cultures and meet new people from all over the world. It’s a great way to be immersed in other Guide and Scout cultures from across the world. The day will be full of culture, learning and fun! We have highlighted some of the countries that are participating.
Yesterday evening, Participants, International Service Team and Planning Team members as well as other hosts gathered in front of the main stage here in Lundsneset, Norway. After years and months of preparations, Roverway 2024 finally started! Well, the second half – the Paths are over, it’s time to meet everyone on site!
One of the many Roverway paths had the chance to explore the rich history of Røros. On this path we had Guides and Scouts from Portugal, Malta, Greece, Switzerland, UK and Denmark that came together to explore this rich history. Markus, a member of our text team, was a leader for that path and wrote a little report for us.
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!
After a night of not too much sleep and a quick breakfast, many International Service Team (IST) headed towards the buses, which would take them to the foot of Preikestolen.
