National Scouting Museum, Scout heritage center in Irving, US.

The National Scouting Museum is the official museum of Scouting America, now located at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. Its five galleries cover Scouting heritage, the Order of the Arrow, Philmont, the Santa Fe Trail and Ernest Thompson Seton, and the collection holds over 600,000 artifacts. The Seton Memorial Library, with Seton's personal books and a large reading room, is housed inside.

The museum opened in 1959 in North Brunswick, New Jersey, as the Johnston Memorial Museum. It closed in 1979 when the Boy Scouts of America headquarters moved from New Jersey to Texas. It reopened in 1986 at Murray State University in Kentucky, moved to Irving, Texas, in October 2002, and reopened at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico, on May 29, 2018.

The museum honors the founders of scouting and displays how generations of scouts have documented their adventures through personal belongings and mementos. These items show how the movement shaped people's lives and values over time.

The facility is typically open Monday through Saturday and offers plenty of time to explore the exhibits thoroughly. Plan to spend several hours to walk through the various galleries and research facilities comfortably.

The Philmont Gallery holds a 3D topographical map of Philmont Scout Ranch, not of the town of Cimarron. The museum sits at the ranch itself, and its galleries also cover the Santa Fe Trail, Colfax County mining, logging and railroads, plus a historic stage wagon.
