Nomination Forms
Spark Plug Award
Given to someone who provides Scouting Spirit to the program—one who does more than expected or necessary—a person who inspires youth and adults alike. The award should not be given to a person who does only a good job in an assigned position.
Bell Ringer Award
Given to someone who exemplifies Scouting. The award is open to any registered Scouter or non-Scouting adult who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to serve Scouting on a unit, district, council, or community level. The service done should be of an exceptional nature.
King Pin Award
Given to someone who exemplifies Scouting. The award is open to any registered Scouter or non-Scouting adult who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to serve Scouting on a unit, district, council, or community level. The service done should be of an exceptional nature.
District Award of Merit
The District Award of Merit is a council award presented by districts in the same manner that the Silver Beaver is a national award presented by councils. The award is available to Scouters who render service of an outstanding nature at the district level. The award is made available annually on the basis of 1 for each 25 traditional units or fraction thereof. (The Thunderbird District may award 1). The district need not present all the awards to which it is entitled each year. It is not appropriate to nominate a Scouter who has already received this award.
