Northern Lights Council is considered one of the best councils in the nation and it’s because of you, the Scouters, Scouts, volunteers and family that make up our Scouting community. Gathering together to celebrate and recognize all you do for youth. We hope it will become on of your favorite events each year. This is the time of year we get to share our admiration and appreciation for you and get to say thanks, for being the support that keeps Scouting the amazing program it is.
