What is the District Award of Merit and who qualifies?
|
|
The District Award of Merit is a council award presented by districts. The award is available to any registered Scouter who renders service of an outstanding nature on the district level. The award is made annually on the basis of one award for each 25 units, or fraction thereof, registered on December 31. The district need not present all of the awards to which it is entitled each year.
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
i
|
A nominee must be a registered Scouter.
|
|
i
|
A nominee must have rendered noteworthy service to youth.
|
|
i
|
The nature and value of "noteworthy service to youth" may consist of a single plan or decisions that contributed vitally to the lives of large numbers of youth, or it may have been given to a small group over an extended time.
|
|
i
|
The nominee should have contributed some type of service to youth outside of Scouting as well.
|
|
i
|
Consideration should be given to the nominee's position and the corresponding opportunity to render outstanding service beyond the expectation of duty. The nominee's attitude toward and cooperation with the district and council is to be taken into consideration. The nomination is confidential.
|
|
i
|
It is not appropriate to nominate a Scouter who has already received this award.
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
i
|
Nominations are submitted to the local council or District Executive. Although nominations can be submitted anytime during the year, it is recommended that they be turned in around October. That way, all of the qualifications of the nominee can be as current as possible.
|
|
i
|
Annually, the District Award of Merit Committee, with at least three, but no more than five persons, will consider all district candidates and make their recommendations.
|
|
i
|
These recommendations should be submitted confidentially to the Scout executive, who will inform the district chairman and the district commissioner of those nominations approved by the committee.
|
|
If you know someone that you think should receive the District Award of Merit be sure to keep them in mind for this years nominations. If you need more information, contact the council office.
