Experiences near the Norwegian jamboree 2025

Here we have gathered a number of suggestions for activities and experiences for scouts, rover and leaders participating in the national camp in 2025.

All of the highlighted suggestions can be reached by public transport with a maximum of one bus change along the way. Also, the bus between the camp and the city center will run approximately every 10 minutes from 10:00 - 17:00.

Remember to include a bit of slack in your travel plan. :)
