The Norwegian Guide and Scout Association is an ideal organisation based on teaching children, youth and adults the fundamentals of responsibility taking, accepting challenges, new experiences, leadership and personal development.
“Learning by doing” and leader training are important elements of the movement. Other important elements are outdoor activities, friendship, practical knowledge and improved quality of life.

About scouting in Norway
Our organisation aims to develop our members to become independent and responsible citizens through outdoor life, community involvement, international understanding and personal experience of the ideals in scouting. Our scouts learn about responsibility, independence and leadership.
We have scout groups all over the country, and all groups are for both boys and girls. Most groups have weekly meetings, and during the summer many groups either arrange a camp, or visit a national camp or even a camp in a different country.
The Guide and Scout Law and The Promise provide the fundament for our activities.
