Roverway is a periodic international gathering for young people aged 16 to 22. It is an opportunity to meet and foster better understanding between young adults from different cultures and traditions. The 2016 Roverway, organised by French Scouting, took place from 3 to 14 August 2016 in France.
The Roverway is divided into two main stages:
First stage
From 03 to 10 August – the “routes in the regions” are action projects in connection with local partners, carried out by teams of 6 rovers.
Second stage
From 10 to 14 August – gathering of all participants at the “Camp Scout à 5000”, in Jambville near Paris.
