        The 
        ScoutingBSA.org web site is a 
		legacy site of the Viking Council BSA, now Northern Star Council.   
		 This site was the original council site and was active from 1996 to 
		2002 and run by volunteers.  As the web became more important to 
		Scouting, the council took over with paid staff.  This site is no 
		longer maintained but is an interesting snapshot of an early Scouting 
		web site.    You can share your comments  using our
		on-line form or

        Webmaster.   Thank you
