Alfie Blackmore, 16, from Bishopston, represented the UK in Norway at the European Scout event Roverway 2024.
Roverway is a gathering of 5,000 Scouts from across Europe and beyond, including 550 from the UK. The event was divided into three parts, beginning with an expedition across Southern Norway for five days, followed by an international camp at Stavanger then a ferry trip to visit Copenhagen in Denmark.
Alfie said: “After arriving in Oslo I was so excited to meet Scouts from around the world. We went Fjord canoeing, which was an amazing experience. I was given the freedom to lead, a skill I will take forward through my life. I loved the huge outdoor movie night and sharing experiences with my new friends from Poland and the Czech Republic. This was my first international Scout trip and the memories will stay with me forever”
