About the North Star Museum

The North Star Museum of Boy Scouting and Girl Scouting was founded in 1976 by veteran Scouters from the east side of Saint Paul, who felt compelled to preserve the material remains of their Scouting past for future generations.

Our vision is to be a forward-thinking institution recognized for expertise in the key areas of education, citizenship, community service, and personal integrity. Our mission is to collect, preserve, share, and interpret the history and significance of Boy Scouting and Girl Scouting in the upper Midwest.

Since 1976, we have gathered more than 150,000 artifacts, photographs, publications, films, and sound recordings relating to the history of both Boy Scouting and Girl Scouting in our area of interest, which includes the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
​
The museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and has a permanent home in North Saint Paul, Minnesota.

We hope you visit us soon!
