“From one generation to the next, Scouting will continue to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of the young people we serve in the Northern Lights Council.”

Mark G. Holtz, Scout Executive

Welcome

Welcome to the Northern Lights Council, Boy Scouts of America.  Our Council delivers Scouting to more than 15,360 members and 4,050 registered volunteers throughout the entire State of North Dakota, eighteen counties in northwest Minnesota and two counties each in South Dakota and Montana.  The Northern Lights Council is the second largest Council geographically of the more than 300 BSA Councils in the United States. 

The Northern Lights Council has a long and proud history of serving youth with a quality Scouting program.  Thousands of youth have experienced the fun of Scouting in the great outdoors while learning critical life skills including physical fitness, self-reliance, teamwork and respect for others.
