Interesting fact:

It is not known when 1. Bodø was founded, but the earliest reference to this troop name is dated March 19, 1912.  Using this date makes 1. Bodø the 19th Scout troop in Norway and the oldest in northern Norway.  A newspaper article dated April 23, 1910 refers to a Scout organization in Bodø, which would make it the 2nd oldest troop in Norway.  To put this in context, Boy Scouts of America (BSA) was founded on February 8, 1910, and Norsk Speidergut-Forbund (NSF) was established March 25, 1911.
