The [[Scouting and Guiding in the Northwest Territories|Northwest Territories Council]] of [[Scouts Canada]] was founded in 1970, with [[Denny R. May]], son of pilot [[Wop May]],<ref>[http://www.albertaonrecord.ca/denny-may-fonds Fonds edm-1557 - Denny May fonds]</ref> as executive director. May also designed the logo for the Council, which depicts three [[Inuit]] in a circle with their hands linked in brotherhood. The Nunavut-specific design borrows the polar bear from the local government.

When the Northwest Territories was divided and the new territory of [[Nunavut]] was created in 1999, the Council was renamed as the NWT and Nunavut Council' This Council later merged into the [[Scouting and Guiding in Alberta|Northern Lights Council]] of [[Alberta]] in the early 2000s. Today Nunavut falls under [[Scouting and Guiding in Ontario|Voyageur Council]] of [[Ontario]]. Groups in Nunavut are supported under the Council Groups Area.

Guides were served by the [[Girl Guides of Canada]] - Northwest Territories & Nunavut Council until approximately 2008, at which point Nunavut Guiding became part of Ontario Council.
