Northern Lights Scout Camp History
HISTORY: Northern Lights
Summer Camp was a canoe base that became operational in 1946 and was
operated by the Niagara Frontier Council. The camp continued operation
in the Greater Niagara Frontier Council until 1987 when it was sold for
private use. The camp has had several names throughout its tenure. From
its inception until the 60s it was referred to as Northern Lights Scout
Camp. In the mid 60s the camp was called Camp Northern Lights. In the
late 60s the Greater Niagara Frontier Council referred to the property
as Camp Northern Lights. In the 70s and 80s the camp was called Northen
Lights Canoe Base. Finally, the camp was called Northern Lights in the
mid to late 80s. The Homme Du Nord patches in the 1980s were issued to
scouts that participated in a special canoe program based on the French
Canadian Voyageurs. A new program, Birchbark Expeditions, has recently
been launched by GNFC. Additional info on this program is on the main
