As we are packing up the museum occasionally an artifact jumps out at you. The quick sketches that are in Baden-Powell's 1910 diary makes one stop to appreciate his incredible artistic talent. Another favourite sketch that was pointed out to us by a Venturer.

While working on collecting the "treasures" for the updated Apple Day display I came across this badge. Another favourite. If you have unique Apple Day badge I would love to post it here.

The Pop Up Museum travelled to Brockville for their banquet. One Beaver wanted to see the 'pretty cape" on someone tall. Thank you Giles for modelling. Another youth favourite.

My Favourite Artifact continues. A Cub Scout thought this carved wolf was "really, really special".

To answer a question that was posed by youth member: Yes, "my favourite artifact" series will continue. We have a lot more artifacts chosen by the youth to feature, We still have lots of treasures we have photographed for the series but our focus right now is the Pop up Museum and the pack up .

To our Scouting Friends and Followers:

As of July 1, 2026, the Scouts Canada National Museum will be closed until our new location can be found.
The volunteer staff will be focused on sorting and packing all the books, documents and displays so everything can be relocated to proper storage or our new home, whichever comes first. The Pop-up Museum is still operational and can be booked through our page or by our email at [email protected].
The Radio Team will also be operational in the field at events and can be booked as well.
We will continue to answer emails and queries as we are able, but we cannot accept new donations of Scouting memorabilia or host in house tours.
Thank you for your support and patience.
Yours in Scouting
