Scouting in Minnesota
Scouting in Minnesota has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live.
There are eight Boy Scouts of America local councils serving Minnesota. In addition, the Northern Tier National High Adventure Bases of the BSA is located in Minnesota.
CMC is headquartered in Sartell, Minnesota. Ranging from Nevis and Park Rapids in the northwest to Elk River in the southeast, the council serves 46 communities in the area.
Central Minnesota Council is made up of four districts:
Central Minnesota Council is home to Parker Scout Reservation, which was established in 1941 by Clyde Parker. The Camp sits on 256 acres (1.0 km2) of wooded land on North Long Lake north of Brainerd, Minnesota.
The Central Minnesota Council is supported by Naguonabe Lodge #31 of the Order of the Arrow. Naguonabe Lodge #31 was founded in 1927.
Gamehaven Scouting serves seven counties in southeast Minnesota. From its council office located in Rochester MN, its area ranges from Red Wing MN to Winona MN to Owatonna MN and is bordered to the south by Iowa and the east by Wisconsin.
In Rochester alone, there are more than 2,000 Scouts, including 26 Cub Scout packs (grades first through fifth) and more than 20 Boy Scout troops (sixth grade through age 18). For older youth, Venturing is a high adventure outdoor program while Explorer Posts partner with firms like the Mayo Clinic, Cascade Veterinary Hospital, Gold Cross Ambulance, and Rochester Police to offer career development activities (age 14 through 21, coed).

Gamehaven Scouting is supported by Blue Ox Lodge #26 of the Order of the Arrow.
