Speidernes landsleir 2025 is cashless. Because many of the youngest scouts do not have bank cards, we have chosen to use payment bracelets. This can be topped up in advance and during the camp with any amount. The bracelet also serves as proof of participation. All points of sale accept payment bracelets and bank cards.
Return of money on the bracelet
All balances over 9 NOK will be returned to the user by the end of September, unless the user chooses to donate the excess to the camp. 9 NOK will be held back to cover fees for use and return.
Top up money on the bracelet
You can top up your camp bracelet online.
The technology
The payment bracelet is based on NFC technology (Near Field Communication). These are radio waves that transmit data between devices over very short distances. There is no tracking of the bracelets or connection to personal data, which means that we cannot tell where a lost bracelet is. When recharging the bracelet, the name, group and mobile number are registered (to make charging cards easier for guardians). Other personal information is not linked to the bracelet.
Colors
We have camp bracelets in two different colors, with two different locks.
Blue band with black lock: Scouts, leaders and rover who will stay in the group without consent for photos in the registration in min.scouting. Failure to update the photo acceptance field automatically results in a black lock.
Blue band with green lock: Scouts, leaders and rover who will stay in the group with consent for photos in the registration in min.scouting.
Red band with green lock: Rovers who will stay in rover camp with registered dietary needs or food intolerances.
Red band with black lock: Rovers who will stay in rover camp without registered diet or food intolerances.
Remember that the lock on the bands cannot be loosened. When putting it on, place 2-3 fingers under the band so it is not too tight. -
The first aid tent should be used in cases where more support and expertise is needed than what the group can give to provide the right measures in the event of injury or illness.
In the event of serious incidents, an ambulance should be contacted directly. The camp's first aid should not delay vital treatment.
Many minor injuries can and should be resolved in the group. What is usually treated on weekend trips by the group, you are expected to arrange yourself at the camp. If you are unsure or think the Scout needs supervision by someone with more expertise, the first aid tent is the right place.
Bring enough first aid equipment for the number of participants you have. This list is designed for a group of 20 people in total. Remember that parents must approve the administration of medication.

Hygiene is an essential part of ensuring that everyone has a safe and enjoyable camp experience. Good hand hygiene, especially before meals and after using the toilet, is important to avoid infection. Remember that hand sanitizer does not wash away dirt and grime, only soap and water does. Hand sanitizer only works on clean, dry hands. We therefore ask that you remind participants of the importance of washing their hands thoroughly with soap and water regularly.
Food hygiene is also important. Make sure that all raw materials are handled correctly, and that all equipment used for cooking is clean.
We would also like to remind you that no one should wash themselves or brush their teeth at the water fountains, as these are only to be used to collect water. -
Allergies
To make sure that we have food for everyone, it is very important that all food allergies and food intolerances are registered per scout upon registration.
This is to make sure that we can meet the food needs of all participants. We will do our utmost to ensure that everyone gets what they can eat. If you want to be sure that we meet the needs of your scouts, register in min.speiding upon registration.
Delivery
The food delivery locations will have long opening hours from morning to evening. Food for breakfast, lunch and dinner will be based on self-service. Since we have long opening hours, you can pick up food when you need it. If you need refills, you can come several times for a meal.
For dinner, some items will be pre-packaged, while vegetables and other items will be self-service.
All groups will have access to a box in a refrigerated container for storing food that has been out in the camp area. It is each group's responsibility to keep the refrigerated container tidy.
Early delivery
Groups that want food on Friday evening and Saturday morning can order this in min.speiding when registering for camp. We serve bread and cold cuts on Friday evening and Saturday morning.
This has an additional cost that will be invoiced together with the rest of the camp fee.
This means that they report this when registering. This will be automatically added to the invoice in the same way as logs and other additional equipment that is ordered in the registration. -
Scouts
We plan that the Scouts will not need a phone to have a good experience at camp to the greatest extent possible. It is up to the Scout groups to determine mobile phone rules for their scout groups.
In some cases, it will be necessary for the Scouts to use the phone during activities, but the camp then plans that one phone per patrol will suffice. All patrols MUST bring a phone with them on the hike. During the patrol run, the patrols will also need a phone to carry out some of the tasks. At the peffkro (activity for all patrol leaders and all scouts at camp in grades 8-10), the Scouts need a phone for individual activities.
Leaders
The camp will use an app to communicate news and messages to the groups.Rovers
Rovers will have access to the rover program and receive messages via the same country camp app as leaders. Rover camp shifts will be distributed via a different app, more info will come.
Staff and Ants
Staff will have access to the program, and receive updates through the country camp app. Staff shifts and Ant shifts will be distributed through a separate app, more info to come. -
At the information tent, a leader or rover can deliver the group’s charging box. The charging box must be clearly marked with the group name and the name/phone number of the contact person. Only power banks are delivered for charging. It is not possible to deliver phones, iPads, PCs or cameras for charging. The charging box can contain a maximum of 10 power banks.
The charging box must be delivered and collected during the information tent's opening hours, 10:00 -21:00. It will not be possible to collect the charging boxes outside of opening hours. All charging is done at your own responsibility and risk. The Scouts' National Camp does not take responsibility for damaged and/or lost items.
Rovers have the opportunity to charge in the rover cafe. -

Leader: 3500 NOK
Rover: 3500 NOK
Staff camp week: 2450 NOK -
There’s lots to do! Getting around is easy. All public transportation itineraries can be found in the app Entur. We recommend arriving Norway early to explore the bustling city of Oslo, the Olympic activities at Lillehammer or maybe explore the mountains while taking the Bergen Railway Line!
You can also use the website Visit Norway to find places you want to see. Our partner Visit Østlandet has lots of recommendations for the region surrounding the camp.

The Norwegian Scouts mirror the United Nations sustainable goals. The camp will focus on three of the goals:
10: Reduced inequalities
12: Responsible consumption and production
17: Partnership for the goals.Sustainability is a natural part in every step of the planning, execution and final work connected to the camp.
In the words of Lord Baden Powell: “try to leave the world a little better than you found it.” The goal of the jamboree is therefore that we should work together towards a better future.

What is “Speidernes landsleir”?
The Norwegian national jamboree “Speidernes landsleir”, is held at Gjøvik 5.-12. July 2025. The camp is located in an idyllic area with a view towards Gjøvik city and Norways largest lake: Mjøsa. All guides and scouts in the age 10-15 and rangers ans rovers aged 16-25 are invinted to the camp as participants.
During the camp we will join lots of new and exciting scouting-adventures, such as hikes in the beautiful Innlandet-region, a camp menu full of culinary experiences, campfires with sing-alongs, and much more that belongs on a Norwegian national jamboree.
Camp program for scouts
Patrol Run
The Patrol Run is an exciting course with various stations that the patrol works together to solve, using creativity, cleverness, and team spirit. You'll get to tackle challenges and thought-provoking tasks—and, most importantly, have fun together.
Practical skills
Practical skills looks back in time, to an era when people had to make things themselves. Here, you'll use your practical skills to create something together. For those with a competitive streak, there will also be an opportunity to compete a bit with another patrol.
Market Day
Market Day will be the grand finale of the program! Together, the group will create an activity from the future that other scouts can come and try—everything from future-bingo to hover-football.
About the camp bases
The Camp has a large campsite—1 square kilometer, or the equivalent of 146 FIFA football fields! The areas where the groups will stay are divided into three bases. Everyone in the same base follows the same program rotation and goes on the hike on the same day. The bases are named after some of the brightest and most important stars in the sky.
For over 5,000 years, humans have observed the stars and used them to guide their way to new adventures! When conquistadors and Vikings set out to discover new lands, they used the stars for navigation
