Everyone is invited to the annual Adult Recognition Luncheons in March.  Invite your entire unit to attend the luncheon and appreciate all the leaders and volunteers who give their time, talents, and treasures to make your unit grow and go!

Now is the time to send in the request for your Leader Knots and Awards to your unit’s Award Chair.  Your time and commitment to your scouts and families is valuable and we want to honor you!  Show your growth in the BSA program by receiving your knots and awards at the annual Adult Recognition luncheon. (See links to adult awards below.)

• DISTRICT AWARD OF MERIT: This is the highest honor a District can award to a volunteer. Who are those volunteers who have stepped up to take on an event for scouts or leaders at any level. 

AWARDS:  Submit award paperwork to Cindy Basham by March 23, 2023

• VOLUNTEER AWARDS: Recognition is not just for specific positions.  All volunteers are valuable.  You or your unit can recognize anyone who has volunteered time to your scouts and unit with our Council’s ‘Unit Award of Appreciation’.  There is no limit to nominate anyone and everyone who has volunteered with your unit, registered or not, to be recognized at the luncheon.
