Norges Bygdeungdomslag

Norges Bygdeungdomslag ("Norwegian Rural Youth") is a Norwegian youth organization, founded in 1946, aimed at promoting rural culture, and based on a Christian platform. In its heyday, it had close to 20,000 members, although the membership has now dropped to around 6,000 (as of 2011).[1][2]

The organization organized many cultural and other events. It has a secretariat in Oslo with five employees, but is largely based on voluntary work.
