Getting prepared at lake Ulfjotsvatni

The teams are on their journeys with the tribes. We've got lots of positive news from the journeys and also the Icelandic media has being interested in the event. So far the finnish contingent hasn't experienced any bigger misfortunes during the journeys.

The International Service Team (IST) including the Finnish contingent staff has been stationed already on the lake Ulfjotsvatni Scout Center where the Althingi will be held. The tribes will arrive to Althingi on Friday. Before that IST is preparing the camp site for almost 3000 Rovers.

The camp site has some permanent facilities like thermically heated showers, porcelain toilets and couple of buildings that are used as offices. Circus tents, movable tents, stage, dining and kitchen tents, work shop tents, activity areas and much much more are being pulled up during the preparation days.

On Tuesday evening the Italian Contingent gave us a brilliant camp fire. On a long joyrney from Italy to Iceland the heroes visited all the nations on Roverway. The cavalcade of different traditional and not-so-traditional camp fire shows gave us an impression about the great diversity of national scout cultures. The evening also highlighted the fact that we all live under the same blue sky and that after all we are all different and all equal.

'The feeling on the camp site is easy-going and enthousiastic. Everyone is waiting equally the participants to arrive and the real fun to start', commented Juho Toivola from Kaarinan Ristiritarit. Juho is a member of the WOSM-team at the Roverway.
