SPORTS MEDAL PROGRAM

The Sons of Norway Sports Medal Program is a fun and engaging wayto stay active while enjoying the Norwegian tradition of friluftsliv (outdoor life and recreation)!

It is designed to reward healthy habits at every age, activity level and exercise preference.
 
Members can record their activity to work toward medals in several different categories:
​
WALKING - CYCLING - SWIMMING - SKIING - AND GENERAL FITNESS

​
In each category, members have the opportunity to earn medals: bronze, silver, gold and enamel.
 
An additional level, called the Idrettshelt, was recently added to each category.  

The Lodge Sports Medal director is a great resource to help you get started!
