Signup for Roverway 2024

Monday 22 July to Monday 5 August 2024, Norway

Roverway is a European event for Scouts and Guides aged 16-22, which takes place every 3-6 years.

The next Roverway will take place in Norway in summer 2024, and Scouts is organising a contingent of participants and International Service Team (IST).



The event is divided into three parts:

  • A semi-independent exploration in Southern Norway

    During the first five days, participants will explore a self-chosen 'path' in locations such as Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Aalesund. Our UK patrols will join patrols from other countries to complete their chosen path, under the supervision of International Service Team (IST) and Norwegian Scout Groups.


    One of the highlights of Roverway is the opportunity for young people to truly shape their experience – and the paths will cater for many different interests.

  • A jamboree-style main camp experience near Stavanger

    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.

  • A post-event experience for the UK contingent

    The final part of Roverway is the post-event, which sees the UK Contingent come together for a shared experience. We will ensure the post-event is youth shaped by actively involving participants in its design.
