Get together on TuesdayThe camp atmosphere is raising, when the Rovers and Rangers are arriving to Evo during Tuesday. The num-ber of people will multiply up to 3600 and that forecasts for sure longer queues at the ice cream kiosk, a more crowded dining hall and even more buzz all over the camp area.

Quick and dirty in EvoWhat do you get, if you take 450 skillful adults, a lot of guiding and scouting spirit, huge amount of humor and mix it with sunshine and fun? Of course, you will get the Roverway Construction Camp.

Actually, the work at the camp site began already ten days earlier with a little brave group of pre-construction campers, and the things really sped up when all the IST and Finnish project organisation members arrived at Evo.
During the weekend, the Construction camp was rein-forced also by 50 scouts who will attend Saraste camp in Evo right after Roverway. They were built common camp constructions with Roverway. Saraste will be organised by the Capital Area District Guides and Scouts.
