Scouting Around the World Nonvay

Bergen District of the Norwegian Boy Scout Association held thei r 1947 camp in Sandane,
Nordfjord . The Scouts had to endure quite a lot of rain, but Bergen is " the City of Rain", so
they managed fine . The rural post office in the camp used a spec ial postmark (N-010) 1-8 July.

Above:
Engraver' s
proof strike of
the postmark
(N-010),

prior to camp
start. Believed
to be unique.
