Now Calling for Award Applications!
‘Tis the season for determining awards from the 2021 Scouting year.
While it was a difficult year for many of us, we hope that we can still recognize scouters who went above and beyond in 2021. Below you’ll find a diverse assortment of award applications. Some of them can even earn you knots for your uniform!
The most prominent award we’re looking for is the District Award of Merit. This is awarded to two scouters in the District who demonstrate service to scouts in the District above-and-beyond their registered position. You can read about other requirements in the application.
Additionally, we’ll also be looking for the next recipients of the Dean W.B. Tilberg Award for Packs and Dr. John H. Riley Award for Troops & Crews awards.
