'''Scouting in the Northwest Territories''' did not develop until 1970, due to the sparse population of the [[Northwest Territories]].

==Anglophone Scouting in the Northwest Territories==

The Northwest Territories Council of [[Scouts Canada]] was founded in 1970, with [[Denny R. May]] (1935–2021), 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.

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]] ([[Ottawa Valley]] and surrounding region).
