Are you looking for a new activity for yourself, your children, or your entire family? Scouting is for everyone and is an excellent way to become more familiar with Norway.

As a scout you will get new friends, join meetings, go camping, go on hikes and have fun with others. You have the opportunity to try new things, are encouraged to take on new and greater responsibilities, learn to cooperate and gain lifelong experiences.

Membership fee

There are som differences in membership fees among the various groups. Each group sets its own membership fee in addition to the fee that goes to the association (575 NOK in 2024). Usually, the total fee is between 700 amd 1000 NOK per year. We also practice family discount if more than one family member joins our association. 

Additional fees may apply for hikes and camps. It is possible to apply for financial support to attend our events. Ask your local group or contact the office for advice. Scouts that join our association after August 1st automatically receive a 50% discount on the membership fee for that year.
