What will you experience at Speidernes landsleir?
The camp opens and ends with a campfire at the main stage. During the camp all guides, scouts, rangers and rovers will join an overnight hike in the area surrounding the camp. The hikes will have a great variation in the level of difficulty and routes, and there will be options for every level of experience.
No one should be hungry at camp. Therefore the camp menu is developed to be both tasty, creative, and sustainable.
Everyone attending the camp will experience exciting and fun program activites. There will be a camp-kindergarten and program for scouts, rovers, and leaders.
When not attending a program activity, you can stroll through plaza, enjoy a coffe, make some new friends or watch the entertainment on the stage.
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.
What about rovers?
There are lots of opportunities for rangers and rovers aged 16-25 at this camp!
Rovers at camp are invited to sleep in their own rover-area with other rovers from their group. The rover area will have its own program, a cafe, and great vibes. Rovers attending the camp with their group can choose to sleep in their group-area and still participate in the rover program and activities.
All Rovers will spend one night out in the wilderness in the area surrounding the camp, experiencing Norwegian nature first hand on a hike with their rover-group.
Rovers are a great recourse at camp. We will need your help some hours during the week to make the camp run smoothly.

10: Reduced inequalities

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
Rover-program
The Rover Program is open to everyone that is born between 1999 and 2009 at camp. It includes many small activities from which you must collect points to earn the Rover Program badge!
