ung i norden

What is Ung I Norden?

Ung I norden is an event organized by one of the countries within the NSK (Nordic scout association). The event is for young people ages 16-21 from the following countries: Denmark, Faroe Island, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweeden. The aim of the event is to encourage youth to learn more about each years theme that would benefit them in scouting within their home region. Ung I Norden is also a great opportunity to meet like minded people in the Nordic countries and learn about different ways of scouting. For registration please contact our association.
