(2007-2008 Scouting Year)

It's time to recognize outstanding adult volunteers

Every year we recognize outstanding adult volunteers. We have multiple awards we can give out, we just need you to let us know who these people are. These awards consist of the District Outstanding Scouters., the District Award of Merit and the Council Silver Beaver award.

We spend a great deal of attention making sure the youth get the recognition they deserve for the effort they make, we also need to thank all the adults our there who week after week donate their time to putting on a quality program for the youth.  This is our chance to show them we are thankful.  We need you, the other adults, to let the District leadership know how hard these people are working.  We have 3 levels of recognition.

  • At the district level, we have our own outstanding Scouter awards.
  • Also, at the district level, we present the District award of Merit for outstanding service.
  • At the council lever, there is the Silver Beaver award.

 

More information on each of these is below.

District Award of Merit


The District Award of Merit is awarded by a District to registered Scouters for service to youth in the District.  This is a Council-sponsored award that is the highest honor that a district can bestow upon one of its Scouters.  Limited to one award for every 25 Units in the District.  The nominee must be a registered Scouter and must have rendered noteworthy service to Scouts over an extended time (usually in excess of five years).  The nature and value of "noteworthy service" may consist of a single plan or action that contributed vitally to the lives of large numbers of youth or it may have been given to a small group over an extended period of time to youth in and outside of Scouting.  The recipient receives a plaque, signed certificate, and official knot badge.
