Merseyside scout represents UK at ‘Roverway 2024’ event in Norway
Ben Dickinson has just returned from representing the UK in Norway at the European Scout event, Roverway 2024. Set on the beautiful fjord coastline of Lundsneset, Stavanger, the event was an opportunity of a lifetime where he immersed himself in adventure and Scandinavian culture.
Roverway is a gathering of 5,000 Scouts aged 16 – 22 years old, from across Europe and beyond. The event was divided into three parts beginning with an expedition across Southern Norway for five days, followed by an international camp at Stavanger where Scouts engaged in a programme of Scouting activities and skill development, before culminating in a ferry trip to visit Copenhagen in Denmark.
Ben 22 said ‘’ I’ve been part of the host team here at Roverway, supporting and welcoming the world to the site. This is my first international Scout volunteering role and I’m so proud to represent the UK. I’ve been working with Scouts from around the world and it’s so inspiring.’’
