International Scouting units in Norway
In addition, there are American Boy Scouts in Oslo, and Norway is in a peculiar position (as is Russia), as American Scouts there may be linked either to the Direct Service branch of the Boy Scouts of America, which supports units around the world, or to the Horizon District of the Transatlantic Council, which supports units in west-and-central Europe, the Near East and North Africa, at the discretion of the individual pack or troop.
