Scouting in Nunavut did not develop until 1970, as a section of the Northwest Territories of Canada.

The Northwest Territories Council of Scouts Canada was founded in 1970, with Denny R. May, son of pilot Wop May,[1] as executive director.

May also designed the logo for the Council, which depicts three Inuit in a circle with their hands linked in brotherhood.

The Nunavut-specific design borrows the polar bear from the local government.

Today Nunavut falls under Voyageur Council of Ontario.
