This year we invite you to join us at our traditional Christmas party weekend – Einarbuhelga – in September. The weekend will include games, candle molding, light trail making, friendship, card games, saunas, nature, and good food. You will experience what it’s like for our scouts on our Christmas weekend in November. We hope this will give you some ideas on what to do with your scouts back home.
When: Friday, September 27. 19:00 – to Sunday, September 29. 12:00
Where: Einarbu – Einarbuveien 130, Indre Østfold. Transportation from and to Mysen train station will be provided.
Einarbu is a large cabin in the woods, about 20 km from Askim. It can sleep more than 50 people in a communal area and has 20 beds in two rooms. The cabin has locker rooms with showers and saunas(!). There’s also plenty of room for tents and hammocks in the nearby forest. If you want to book a bed, please email ineedabed@nordtreff.org as soon as possible.
