The Norwegian Guide and Scout Association (NSF) was founded in 1978 by the merging of The Norwegian Scout Association (founded in 1910) and The Norwegian Girl Guide Association (founded in 1921).
Today NSF has close to 20 000 members ranging from beavers (age 6 to 8), cubs/brownies (age 8-10), scouts/guides (age 10-16) to rovers (age 16-24) and leaders (age 16 and above).
