God Send Award

 PRINT THE FLYER

A scout is reverent. It is important to give thanks for all that we are given and recognize that, without the help of our volunteers, the scout program would not work.

The God Send Award is a UNIT LEVEL RECOGNITION and will be awarded to recipients at the Leader Appreciation Dinner that takes place the 2nd Thursday of May. It is an opportunity to publicly thank and recognize an individual or spousal couple for all of their help in their Scouting Unit.

So much of what scouts experience is at a Unit level. Oftentimes, there is an individual that does so much for the Unit and it just wouldn’t be the same without them. Sometimes these individuals don’t receive recognition or an award for everything they do. The God Send Award will help us to give them a small token of appreciation for all their help with their specific Unit.

Primary Purpose: To recognize the important efforts of volunteers/parents who contribute significantly at a UNIT LEVEL (they are a “God Send” to the Unit.) This award does NOT replace any other recognition award.

Secondary Purpose: To get to know these important volunteers at a district level. To help “pool” and recognize all the talent that is out there.
Eligibility: Any parent or volunteer who contributes significantly at the Unit level. Each Unit can decide how to decide this (e.g. a Committee Chair decides, or the Committee decides, or put it up for nomination and votes, etc.) It can be an individual or a husband/wife couple. Receiving the award: At the Leader Appreciation Dinner on the 2nd Thursday in May. Committee Chairs will be asked to present the award to the recipient(s) as part of the Awards ceremony. Other Unit volunteers will be asked to attend as well in support and recognition of the individual who will receive the award.

The Award: Is a special name tag that has been designed especially to recognize the recipients.

Cost: Units will pay $5 for 1 award or $10 for a couple who receives the award. This will cover the cost for the name tag, including tax and any shipping charges.
