Mission
To bring back memories, to promote learning and to encourage youth to be a part of a new generation of Scouting.
About Us
In 2007, several members of the 35th Baden-Powell Guild came together to undertake an exciting project. This Guild is comprised of retired scouters who continue to have a passion for Scouting and the impact it has made on the Kingston community. Guild volunteers were able to collect a large and varied collection of artifacts and archives that record and illustrate that history. The Museum was opened to the public from a building owned by Scouts Canada (a separate organization).
In 2022, the building was deemed superfluous and demolished. The Museum was forced to pack up its contents and move them to a large storage room in the Harold Harvey Centre, located in Kingston’s Portsmouth Village. Over the last several months, volunteers have been re-organizing our collections and exhibits with a view to creating a virtual museum, set to be published in the next several weeks.
That virtual museum is now live! Stop by and please leave your comments.
