Welcome to the Lee Scouting Museum...home to one of the finest displays of Scouting history in the world! Located at Camp Carpenter in Manchester, NH, the museum was founded in 1969 and is owned and operated by the Daniel Webster Council, BSA. The Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum/Max I Silber Scouting Library represents an exciting, unique, and colorful repository for an exceedingly large collection of Boy Scout memorabilia and an exceptional Scouting Library. Artifacts relating to Scouting in New Hampshire, New England, the United States, and the World are on display for all ages to come and enjoy. We hope you will come and visit us! The mission of the Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum and Max I. Silber Scouting Library is to preserve Scouting's heritage and inspire youth about Scouting traditions and values through an interactive and educational structure. The Museum will collect, preserve, and display Scouting artifacts and publications; conduct research; provide educational materials and events; and educate, enrich, and inspire youth and the general public with the ideals represented by the Scouting Movement. The 2011 Jamboree on the Air was a great success. Join us in 2012 for an interesting opportunity to speak to Scouts around the world by radio on October 20th as we participate in the 55th annual JOTA.

Baden-Powell began working to create the Girl Guides in Great Britian. They were formed in 1910. On March 12, 1912 Juliette Gordon Low started the Girl Guides in the United States. They soon became Girl Scouts and have have worked since the beginning to develop values and contribute to society while having fun. More than 50 million American women enjoyed Girl Scouting during their childhood, and that number continues to grow as Girl Scouts of the USA continues to inspire, challenge, and empower girls everywhere. Today the Girl Scouts are 3.2 million strong |
