Northern Star Scouting, BSA is a large regional council within the Boy Scouts of America, serving more than 32,000 youth across central Minnesota and western Wisconsin, with additional participation at Base Camp and other properties. Based in Fort Snelling, Minnesota, the organization operates through 1,417 Scouting units chartered by more than 1,100 community partners, including educational, religious, civic, and business groups, and relies on a substantial volunteer base to deliver its programs. Operating in the non-profit sector, the council is one of the five largest in the United States and coordinates Scouting activities across a broad geographic area, fostering youth development through organized programs and partnerships. A notable recent development involves a regional partnership announcement with Twin Valley Council that expands Scouting services in southern Minnesota, reflecting ongoing collaboration and growth within its footprint.
